Reading books allows you to explore and experience life from a different perspective. Some of it can be fun other times not so much but it does make you grow as a person. But that is not for everyone, so it is no surprise that there are ‘TechBros’ out there that think that since they already know everything they can ‘read books’ by asking chatgpt to summarize them for you.
pro tip: you can basically read >100 books per day by asking chatgpt to summarize them for you.
What these folks don’t get that reading a book is not just about getting that information into your head, it is also about the experience. It allows you to imagine how the book plays out in your mind and it is the ultimate in expanding your horizons. So obviously people who have no imagination and don’t care about expanding their horizons think that reading a summary of the book is the same as reading it.
Don’t listen to such people, go out and read books. As many as you can.
