I can’t see publishers getting into it because if it ever hits the point where the output isn’t garbage (or publishers think it might be worth printing), the publishers themselves are going to be obsolete as well. Why pay for stories when you can pay directly for (access to) a story-producing machine? There’s no room for a publisher in that dynamic.

I doubt that stage will ever be reached - or at least not to a point where software produces a marketable story more reliably than a human writer.

We’ve been telling each other stories for as long as humans have been around at least and we still can’t reliably produce a story that other people like.

I think the slush pile will always be with us to some extent.
