I imagine in a few decades we might have AI media. You could read a web novel with a fewer or a lot of pictures, or read it as a manhwa / webtoon, or as an anime, or as a virtual reality 3D experience that is semi-interactive. And you could give instructions to shorten or expand it, or even diverge in the plot a little, or change the characters. More like the holodeck with a VR headset.
This is when noncreatives will learn that making good stuff is hard 😅
So anything except actually enjoying reading a book.
The book still exists, nobody is taking that away. But now you can enjoy it in different media forms.
Never said anyone was taking it from me. Just concerning that someone would think that any of those things are the same as reading a book.
Maybe more like someone reading you a book while you can ask questions or give feedback. And maybe instead of just watching pictures / illustrations, you could also describe your own imagination more detailed or give some rough sketches and create your own illustrations to the text. Like a modding feature for books and you can share the mods with other readers.
Again, none of those things are “enjoying a book.”
And you don’t need AI to do any of those things. You can do them now if you want.
Hey google, is this media literacy?
