This would be true if the purpose of reading was purely utilitarian. No one is looking at maps for anything other than information; people read for a wide variety of purposes, many of which are contingent on the idea that original thought is involved.
Unfortunately, I think that in the near future, not using LLMs to write for you will be like someone refusing to use Google Maps for directions in a new city. A bizarre idiosyncratic choice that's just completely incomprehensible to the vast majority of people.

“[Trump] may actually be gearing the US up for a version of Israel’s ‘mowing the grass’ strategy: periodic military interventions to keep its enemies off balance, with no real end in sight.” vox.com/politics/49193…

My latest for @voxdotcom looks at how the Iran war could create political instability in countries that are completely uninvolved in the war vox.com/politics/49138…

I wrote about @NickKristof’s piece on the systematic sexual abuse and torture of Palestinians in Israeli prisons, and why the accounts he describes are not “blood libel” and should not be dismissed: bostonglobe.com/2026/05/22/opi…

Have tweeted this before, but my lesson from the Grid/Messenger experience was that if you write stuff on the internet for a living, you should be keeping a backup of your work. I use Authory but I'm sure there are other methods out there.
ABC News has now taken all FiveThirtyEight articles completely offline. They now redirect to abcnews dot com/politics. A needless erasure of thousands of pages of knowledge.

This is a story all about how Trump's foreign policy priorities got flipped, turn upside down vox.com/politics/48838…
The new appeal asking SCOTUS to overturn the Virginia Supreme Court’s decision striking down the state’s gerrymander would create a nationwide nightmare for Democrats. vox.com/politics/48839… | by @imillhiser

I used to sit in this place every day, spending the sunset hours watching life in those tents. Each tent had a story, a struggle to get water and food. The children cried from the heat, from exhaustion and boredom. Nothing changed; the suffering continued, and no one cared. ❤️🩹

This chart shows trend back to 2004. We have long tracked this shift of ad revenues from everyone else to Google. What often gets missed is the rest of the web is still vital for Google for data - user data, clicks, context, and now training of AI. They just take the cash. 2/2
