"Talking to someone who reads 20–50 good books a year is nothing like talking to someone who hasn't read a book since school made them."
Most books are outdated, before they are released.
I read well over the amount text in 20-30 books from online content/non-books.
This idea is outdated and not a good indicator of someone who reads.
AI is just a tool. It's pretty obvious it's here to stay and if you don't start embracing it, you will be left behind.
