@bibliolater @bookstodon So sick of this stupid question. I deliver library materials to people who cannot get to the library. A large number of them have visual difficulties. We provide audio materials for these people and they thank me FOR GIVING THEM THE CHANCE TO CONTINUE READING.
Get off this stupid hobby horse and tackle the idiots claiming that "AI" summaries as as good as reading the whole book.
Thank you for commenting and giving me an incentive to get off a hobbyhorse.
@bibliolater @bookstodon Though, to be fair, any form of riding can be good exercise....
