ai

A new essay from Literary Hub argues against the use of artificial intelligence to simplify complex literature. The author criticizes the trend of using AI as a reading buddy to decode wordy prose, suggesting that the struggle to understand difficult texts is essential for intellectual growth. This push for convenience, the piece claims, mirrors a broader cultural fear of discomfort that contributes to modern book bans and censorship.
