I think the opposite, just like we used to tell people to "go read a book", now we'll tell people to "spend some time with an AI" to get cultured. The more AI time the better for your education.

My kids read plenty and I am indeed always telling them to "go talk to the LLM". It's more work than reading (I suspect), they have to engage more with the topic - ask good questions.

I don’t even let my kids watch YouTube. Imagine what an llm could hallucinate to impressionable minds.

Edit (addition):

How the fuck did we decide that a large language model somehow became artificial intelligence? It’s like claiming a dictionary is intelligent. I just don’t get it.

I don't think "go read a book" has really generalized in this way

"Go Read a book" was really meant to be synonymous with "Go educate yourself"

No one really says "Go read a blog" or "Go read your facebook feed" the same way, at least as far as I know.

I sure hope "go spend more time on social media" or "go talk to an AI" never becomes synonymous with "educate yourself". I shudder at the thought

If someone told me to “spend some time with an AI” I just wouldn’t spend any more time with that person. What a nightmare.

it's cheaper (2025) and more reliable to recommend someone surf Wikipedia than "getting cultered with AI"
