    what does this mean AI to destroy books?

    like im a bit lost here how it is burning all books or that it rob the idea making the book worthless? why cant this part be explained plainly when you bring this topic to the table here?

    and if AI is destroying stuff, why are we being so shitty at communication?did AI destroy your ability to communicate proper meaning to others?
