It seems to me that you don't like reading (which is fine). Some people enjoy reading words strung together in a certain way. The value comes from the simple relationship between the text and the reader, not on some kind of social connection.

It seems to be that you don't appreciate the relationship between the author and the reader and the author and the text, which is fine, but is a bit tragic.

Not that I doubt that one day people will simply gather around the AI infinite story creation bot. They just won't know what they're missing. :(

This is not some universal truth, yet you state it as such.

People can get different things from a text.
