And there are still countless lovely readers and listeners out there who make all this worth it.Frances Pauli@francestypes.bsky.socialTrying to feel positive here, but "don't use big words" is making me feel a great deal like we are simply doomed. 130
Frances Pauli @francestypes.bsky.social · 28/06/2026I really want to believe this. It would be very comforting if we weren't surrounded by people dying to use AI to read, write, and think for them. ;) but I hear you. Kudos to the readers!! 110
Marshe Summers @skymckinnon.bsky.social · 28/06/2026I think I understand where you're coming from, and have had my fair share of despair over AI, literacy rates, media literacy in general... I believe the AI thing will pass (if only due to the overwhelming cost of operations) and in a few years we'll see a resurgence of popular reading interest. 020
