Soon we'll have AI writing books, then reading them for us so we don't have to.

There is value to that, if we mostly only use this capability to digest books we otherwise wouldn't read but also if we don't stop reading books. Most likely we'll just stop reading books, and that strikes me as scary.

Some people have different preferences when reading books. This could be genre, prose style, word count, descriptions, verbosity, types of characters, themes. Perhaps there could be an outline, wiki, and full text, author's notes for the AI to use, then each reader can have a version presented that goes into extra details in accordance to known user preferences then cliffnotes mode for the parts less interesting to that person.
