Ask HN: Will AI dramatically reduce the creation of crime fiction?

For example, if you are writing a novel, wouldn't you avoid the crime fiction genre so you can use AI to help you without worrying about being flagged by the AI as a possible future criminal yourself?
Not even a little. If our society has degraded to the point that there is a real risk of repercussions like this, then we have much, much bigger things to worry about.
AI won’t let you write good crime fiction because the guard rails will stop you from writing anything good.
Be more concerned about the kinds of AI slop novels that won’t be written because of “safety” alignment.
