Putting aside the fact that this is AI slop, there's something to be said for the value of good prose. Reading fiction shouldn't strictly be about conveying the bare facts of a story, but about drawing in the reader. And sometimes a really good sentence is just a work of art, all on its own.

Audiobooks are great but not reading, and regardless a) people should improve their receptive language skills, b) this is AI horseshit, c) in a literary work there is no equivalence between the actual work and a plot summary. It's like having a summary of the stuff you see going on in a painted scene with only minimal discussion of composition, gesture, and so on. It's literally anti-art.

Just look at this example, you can see an overt loss of information even with zero other context to tell us further about any significance in its phrasing, and even this is a more optimistic case. Just imagine how it must fail to relay something more complex.
