Needed to rant a little after one too many people asked me this recently about my book reading habit. I mean, maybe they should consider watching AI summaries of their TikTok Feed...

> This forgets completely that the process we go through to understand, to empathize, to reflect on the world created by the author contributes to how fulfilling literature can be. > Difficulty is not always the enemy. Having to put in effort is not a bug. It's often feature. Thanks for writing this. I loved the whole piece, but these two quotes really resonated with me. It feels like perfect timing. They’re def coming for music too, nothing’s safe at this point. I totally agree with you that AI is a tool, not a replacement for everything. But you know how tech people are, if we leave it up to them, they’ll have us downloading books straight to our brains, just like Neo learned kung fu in The Matrix

Ah yes I already saw some video speculating that Spotify is using generative AI to make a bunch of songs, put into playlists of all of the same, make them popular as background music. That aside, I find it just so outrageous that this small slice of people - if you go by numbers - is supposed to have so much say about all the rest of us. When their biggest motif isn't human thriving but simple money and power at best. If it was they'd do much more on figuring out how ai could supplement education settings, without replacing teachers - just adding to the experience by customizing for certain kids' weaknesses and strengths. I don't think an AI mentor will ever replace a real passionate human teacher entirely.
