Why we must continue to read books even in the age of AI

‌AI is indeed an excellent tool.
It can easily summarize complex documents
and perform complex data analysis on our behalf.
However, learning is necessary not just for work, but in our daily lives as well.
The reason why the literacy of today's high school students—who solve overwhelmingly complex math problems compared to our generation without difficulty—has dropped to a serious level
is because they are using studying solely as a means to earn test scores.
However, studying reveals who you are in your daily life and lifestyle.
The way a person speaks and what they say determines who they are.
The reason prisons or manual labor dormitories feel so despairing
is because those spaces are filled with people who chase only primary pleasures like money and desire, making it difficult to find culture.
I believe that, to a large extent, studying is for the purpose of carrying oneself with confidence in front of others.
AI will not take over even our everyday conversations.
Furthermore, humans are animals capable of feeling joy and fun even while studying complex things.
If someone begins to do complex tasks for us, the things I can do will gradually disappear,
and it becomes easy to become a person who only chases primary pleasures.
Reading books is not only about developing logical and thinking skills,
but also a joyful endeavor that expands the horizons of how broadly one views the world.
