I assume very few people go to the library currently to read a summary, why would this change in the future?
The premise of all your questions assume others agree with you that books will be replaced.
The web has been "replacing" books for a long time. Books still exist.
I think LLMs will make knowledge in older books much more accessible via modernization and reinterpretations of now-Copyright-free stories from the past.

Libraries and books are a separate thing. > few people go to the library currently to read a summary Enlighten me: what do people go to a library for these days? Saving money? Ok. Not having to buy is a great reason. Books that are unavailable online to buy? Get stolen eventually if secondary market exists. So I assume a lot of it is for researching reasons, which is exactly what LLMs can provide.
