Artificial intelligence is reshaping how information is consumed, promoting a culture of efficiency that encourages users to rely on automated summaries instead of engaging with original texts. Companies like Apple and Google are at the forefront, offering tools that allow users to absorb information without the need for traditional reading. This trend raises concerns about the potential loss of critical thinking and deep understanding as society leans towards quick, digestible content.
