It's like a print book is like a vinyl record.
Like there will be stores that are like, we sell books and vinyl records.
The bombshell of AI.
One thing I noticed is that AI has an oddly formal way of speaking to you.
It's more like the letters you quoted from the average Civil War soldier than it is like texting.
And so I know that superficially it seems like, of course, AI will destroy deep thinking and reading, but I also sense that AI returns a level of kind of full sentences to
formality, like here is how you should think through things.
There is a kind of return to discipline in what it's presenting to you in a way that I find interesting.

It is about taking note of a world in which, because you are inundated with text, you can have this feeling that you are, in fact, reading a lot, but maybe pay attention to the ways in which whatever reading you're doing is eroding an ability to think critically, think deeply, think independently.
Just note that evolution or change.
Yeah, there was a really interesting interview with one of the leading figures at The New York Times who talked about The Times shifting very explicitly towards video.

I mean, partly just because we're journalists, but we do think of The New York Times as like a bastion of news.
sort of literary straight news gathering.
So it's something interesting in them acknowledging the future is video.
Like, we haven't really even talked about that.
We've been pretending as if we're going to continue to live in a world inundated with text, but that may not be true at all.
I know you interviewed a lot of professors, researchers,
Did they have ideas beyond, woe is me, I wish more people would read books?
