The kind of people who read books like this will keep reading them no matter what AI does. The kind of people who won't are already using code written and packaged as convenient libraries by others.

You are mistaken if you think the code is the point (it is not); It is the Mathematics which is important. AI tools can help me in my studies/work but the understanding still has to happen in my own head.

Hannah Fry said that learning math feels like gaining a 6th sense. That’s why I continue to study it. I feel it. It’s fun to experience the world in more ways.

The same goes for Vipassana meditation.

I believe just as human experts do peer review, someone will need to review the AI's work.

The people who do this review will have to know enough to follow along.

People will always read things, not just because it's a necessity for something else, but just for fun, for curiosity, as a game etc.

People do plenty of recreational things which don't make sense from an efficiency perspective; they do it because it's fun.

Since the dawn of the current "AI" I've continued to buy and read books at the same pace. Likewise downloading interesting human-created PDFs. I know I'm not the only human who takes zero interest in the output of word-sausage extruders.
