If effort wasn’t put into it, then the writing cannot be good, except by accident or theft or else it is not your writing.
If you want to court me, don’t ask Cyrano de Bergerac to write poetry and pass it off as your own.

This is misleading/fraud and a separate subject than the quality of the writing.
