So I don’t think that is true. It’s possible to recognise that a book is well written even if you can’t write that well.
I think the problems from LLM use in that area are more about hallucination, if it inserts a false job or something, which is easily checked. OTOH if it just edits it and it looks no better to your eyes, you’re probably ok to go with your initial version.
I think you can certainly enjoy it book or think it’s subjectively a good piece of art without being a skilled writer of course. But you wouldn’t be a very good EDITOR without understanding anything about writing. Which I think is a more accurate picture of what we’re describing doing here.
Enjoying something or forming an opinion on it as a piece of art is a different activity and skillset from knowing if it’s in a fit state to be published, and if it’s not then being able to recognize and fix the errors

But I think this is exactly the distinction I’m getting at…
