This "AI" nonsense seems like a legitimate threat to literacy. Why would young people read a nonfiction book when they can just send questions to a so-called "tech" company that has used the book in training a LLM. These companies, needless intermediaries with zero experise on the subject matter of the book, exist only to collect data and use it for commercial purposes. Unlike the books' authors and publishers they have no responsibility for publishing information that is adequately researched and factually correct.
