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 

The upshot is there’s too many books for one person to read as it is so

Hmmm do you have an example of a book that couldn’t be written today?

I guess I feel it’s more a change in what is commercially viable vs what is actually possible.  I’m sure there are people who can write like that it’s just not as popular so they do something else with their time.
