Putting aside the fact that this is AI slop, there's something to be said for the value of good prose. Reading fiction shouldn't strictly be about conveying the bare facts of a story, but about drawing in the reader. And sometimes a really good sentence is just a work of art, all on its own.

*AI slop is bad; good prose has value. Fiction should do more than tell you the story, it should immerse the reader. A good sentence is art.

It's not just prose, it's art.
