I don't find it credible that all content on the Internet is ever going to be generated by AI, and the two scenarios are wildly different.
What happens is you pick and choose, in the same way the fact that 99% of the books in any bookstore aren't worth the paper they're printed on doesn't make reading worthless.
To make an example many developers are painfully familiar with, if you google something about the C++ standard library, chances are the top results are pure and utter w3cschools-style garbage. What happens is I go on cppreference.com.
How do you figure out what are the good sources of information? You study. For real. With books.

That seems a pretty extreme claim especially in the context of "in a bookstore." You may not be interested in a lot of the content but some publisher thought it worthwhile to edit and publish a given book and a bookstore thought it worth buying copies to take up shelf space. There may be a lot of mediocre content out there but a book on a bookshelf did pass hurdles to get there even if it's not to your taste or interest.
