Early versions are clunky, but within five years, a reader might simply ask an AI to "write a 5000-word Malayalam Kambikatha novel set in a Thrissur pooram with a love triangle," and receive a coherent story in seconds. This will further democratize the genre, but also threaten the amateur human authors who currently dominate the space.
