    The more I hear about AI-generated content and other crap that is posted online these days, I wonder if I should just start reading books instead, maybe even learn to play on a musical instrument and leave virtual world altogether.

          Because writing a knockoff book takes time and effort, and getting an AI to do it does not.

          The same question applies to many fields. Why get AI to write a plagiarized tweet or Reddit comment? It’s a lot less effort than a book, yet both platforms are plagued with bot comments.

      Keep informed so you don’t buy AI-written books. Better know what’s going on instead of letting the world happen to you imo.
