Why do people buy books now, instead of just reading reviews?

• eclecticfrank 3y ago
  Obvious troll, but anyway: Reviews are there to help identify if books are worth reading/buying. Reviews cannot and are not supposed to replace books.

    Well I'm certainly not trolling you but okay. Have a good day.

  Why do people go to see movies when they could just watch the trailer on YouTube?
  • squigz 3y ago
    Well I'm not the one claiming people are going to stop reading because of AI, so I'm not the one to ask :)

  I don't understand this question. Book reviews are not summaries. And even they were, "why do people read books, instead of just reading summaries?" is still a ridiculous question.

    It is ridiculous. That's the point. Same as suggesting people would stop reading books in favor of summaries written by AI And indeed, 'review' was the wrong word to use, but I appreciate you understanding what I meant
