Great thread. Anyone can spot bad writing. It's ingrained in us. You'll just know and be able to articulate it.
If it's good, it's harder for me to say why it's good. All I can say "Wow, that was amazing." It's more of a feeling.

I came away thinking that my team could write a better, more engaging story in half the time. With dialogue worth listening to.
Anyway, hire real writers.
I went to a couple of genAI talks at GDC and came away feeling very secure in my job. The amount of labor that goes into "co-creating" stories with AI simply isn't worth the effort.

fellow devs / vtubers / anyone needing music - if you can't afford to hire a musician (a lot are cheaper than you're expecting), don't use AI music, just go to dova syndrome. thousands of entirely free to use music & sound effects there!!
