The more I hear about AI-generated content and other crap that is posted online these days, I wonder if I should just start reading books instead, maybe even learn to play on a musical instrument and leave virtual world altogether.

There is already books written entirely by AI too, AI is litterly getting everywhere

Keep informed so you don't buy AI-written books. Better know what's going on instead of letting the world happen to you imo.
