Sometimes I read old books and It’s painful because I know there is no one alive who could write as well as the old authors did because of declining iq/standards/literacy and it only stands to get worse as more and more writing is taken on by AI

This is an interesting take. Imo, it has a lot to do with intention.

Imagine a world where/when most of the people is unable to express themselves beyond oral and not even so, in that context writing becomes a sort of superpower: the ability to transcend time and space.

Today we have it way easier, ergo, we settle or give it for granted.
