It has nothing to do with it being genuine or not. The number of submissions have increased by 100x and nearly all of it is crap, but crap that can't be easily filtered by automated tools. The bots aren't making stories that people want to read, but they are drowning out all the stories that people do. The philosophical and pragmatic implications of AI being able to replace people are interesting, but that isn't what this is - it's just spam by low-effort grifters.
