replacing books with AI is like replacing your photo album with an AI trained on it. the value of a book is more than its contents; it’s how you process it too. when you offload that to AI, you relinquish one of the greatest benefits of reading: getting inspired by every sentence coming your way.

reading isn’t like installing a matrix program into your brain so you have access to all information within. no, reading is a journey taken along with the author. you don’t just absorb the information in a book, you re-live its creation. reading is a conversation.

what you get from reading a book is unique and personal. it varies greatly on what you know, what you don’t know, what you like, and what amazes you. and sometimes a single sentence can make the greatest impact on you. and you want that gone?

“instead of you watching the movie, our AI will just answer all your questions you might have about it. have fun!” no, having an AI trained on a book at hand isn’t a substitute for reading the actual book.
