The webnovel space is either ceasepits like this, or cartels like RR where the big names control who gets trending, and more importantly who doesn't. Create for you, and your audience.
I wouldn't call a cesspit. Sure there are works that people call slop, but people have differing opinions on what is slop. For example, everyone who reads my work calls it slop and eventually drops it, but I'm 100 percent sure I'm writing only modern masterpieces.
*this is what is called a joke for those without humor*
We also need better definitions for AI levels within written works.
1. AI Generated: Generated entirely by AI with user only offering prompt.
2. AI Generated with editing: The prompter edited the final result. This is on a scale depending on degree of human editing.
3. Partially AI written: This blends with two. This is on a scale depending on how much of the final product is AI generated.
*If we ever get to the point where this is primarily what is being read and produced, no matter how high the quality, congratulations, we've played ourselves and effectively ended human culture*
4. Human written, AI Edited: AI programs used to heavily edit, rewrite, and refine text.
5. Human Written and Edited: Human written. AI was not used to edit or refine final product.
AI Exposed: Literally Everything That Touches A Computer These Days. So this category is irrelevant. This includes using a computer, internet, google search, spell check, grammar check, someone reviewed human work using AI but human made all the final decisions and edits, etc.
