I wonder at what point people would consciously spend less time online and go back to physical books, especially those works that were published decades/centuries ago? If I am a normal, non-tech person reading something online, how am I supposed to know who wrote it (software or human), what is the agenda behind it etc?

Of course I understand physical books can also be written by AI (just last week, I saw a physical poetry book fully written by AI, except for the preface). But it is much more cost to produce a physical book than throwing up something online only.
