The signal-to-noise ratio in books of any kind was already quite bad. I used to read many books every year but now it's less than 10. And one third I don't like anyway. I got tired long ago of crawling GoodReads and all the forums. I don't know what is driving a race to the bottom but AI had nothing to do with it. Perhaps the attention span and literacy?

In fact, I hope for an LLM service where I can schedule books as good as 10+ years ago.

Why would I buy some low-quality generic book on Amazon/Audible/etc? AI generated or not.
