ASK: Could AI Replace the Slush Pile Intern?

A common lament of new fiction authors is the horribly named "slush pile," where submissions sit waiting for a lit agency "intern" to look at the length of the first few paragraphs and bin the ms. of the next Zadie Smith or Thomas Pynchon
So I wonder, could an LLM do a lot better?
That said there’s zero doubt in my mind that they will be used heavily in the publishing industry.
