Why would we ever want to build something like this, unless your goal is to have fiction writers make even less money than they already do.

Just stop, please. Try and automate some horrible and repetitive drudgery.

Do you want to live in a world where humans no longer do any creative work? It’s grotesque.

Those examples seem quite unrelated to one another. The first reads as admitting intentional fraud and deceit, the second reads like dealing with imposter syndrome. I'd love to know the prompt.

Also, not sure how you can judge a style to be clearly better than another. The workflow of generating a bunch of stories in the style of different authors and then voting on a favorite just seems like picking a favorite author. Will the system ever prefer short, hard-hitting sentences? Sure enough, convergence is a noted behavior.
