Why is AI in play books? I don't need AI to read books. I don't even want AI to help me find books. I would bet this is AI to provide summaries. I don't want that.

Hey, wait, hear me out. What if you could get beautiful, animated, AI-generated illustrations on each page? With AI summarising more boring parts of the book, so you will get more plot per page while reading less text. And after finishing the book, just keep turning the pages to read AI-generated sequel. There is also '18+' button, which will generate a scene of passionate sex between main characters at the end of each chapter.

Pirate your books and de-DRM them with Calibre.

Nah. I'll buy them elsewhere. I don't agree that authors shouldn't get money for their product. But that doesn't mean I'm cool with all the other BS about the publishing industry, and the new AI BS.
