Critical thinking skills have been going downhill for a while now. AI is just going to accelerate that in some ways. I honestly don't know how people are gonna learn to read and write in the future. It's gonna be a completely different way of learning.

It is. I remember teasing my mother decades ago - she was an English teacher - that eventually humans would stop being able to read. The condition we were in for most of our time as a species. I just didn’t think it would happen so fast

No kidding. And you know what's interesting is that I'm guilty of not reading nearly as much as I used to. I listen to a lot of my stuff on audible and even when I read on Substack I listen to it instead of reading it. Lol

I am too. I’m now watching way more movies through Criterion but my reading pile isn’t going down very fast.

My pile just keeps getting bigger. There's always so much more I should be reading. 📖
