Why To Read when AI can Summarize

BENEFITS OF READING ARTICLES

Artificial intelligence is already advancing at an unprecedented rate which none of us had ever expected. It's swallowing traditional methods in almost every field and trying to automate as much as possible. Be it analytical or creative fields, AI is everywhere. We can see AI in white collar jobs, we can see it in the music industry and we can see it in our daily tasks.

You might be thinking that this article would also be AI generated but let me assure you that I am a real human behind this article and it's 100% written by me without even a single help of any LLM(AI).

Actually I love researching different topics and explaining them in depth in a way covering basic to advanced level, combining this with my passion of writing, I just started this website with a hope that those small %age of intelligent people in the world who still love reading would connect with me through this platform.

If you can feel the care for preserving humanitarian values hidden in my articles then that's the biggest proof that these are human written articles and that you are among top few % of intelligent people in the world.

Don't worry this website is not all about philosophy, it has business, technology and world issues and global topics too. Since I am a human, I can make mistakes so please pardon me if I make any.(Humans are highly prone to typos or grammatical errors!)

Coming back to our topic of concerns related to AI advancements in the world, I would say the most important thing is preserving qualities which distinguish us as humans, so why not start with a very small habit of reading daily. Oh that seems boring but I have a real twist in this.

We find it difficult to complete a “full book” or dedicate a fixed time for anything that's not part of our daily schedule and that's human psychology, nothing to worry about. So what we can do is that first we must tie reading to our mobiles and laptops bcz we are tied to these devices. Secondly we want to remain connected in the world and always want to be the most knowledgeable person in the room discussing either world matters or any intellectual topic so we must find a source which can provide all this on one digital platform and this website which you are currently reading is the exact platform which fulfills/fulfils all these conditions set by you all(whatever spelling u like just take it, don't make issue of such petty things, we r assembled together for dealing much bigger issues).

So why not stick to the habit of reading articles when you can get this platform which you had been wanting from several years.

So,

Reading articles is the solution for safeguarding yourself from AI, or at least the least thing you could do daily which would give you real benefits instead of infinitely scrolling on social media and dumping your mind with not so useful stuff.

When you would be reading on this website regularly you would get information about several different spheres of the world which would dramatically increase your knowledge.

I mean in today's fast moving world it's extremely important to be aware of what's happening in different sections of the world even if you are not directly concerned about those matters bcz everything in this world is connected and nothing is perfectly isolated(this is unspoken law of universe which no one tells you) so a thing happening in some completely different sector may have a very direct impact on your life or it may be that, that event generates a sequence of events which ultimately reach you and this is known as Butterfly Effect (you can check on the internet by clicking the link, it's actually a term and it's what I just described but I described it only that much which is required just now).

Some well known evidence backed benefits of reading are listed below:

Increased Gray matter:

Functional and structural magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) has been used in several studies for this matter to study areas of gray matter in brain.

One study of 2020 has published that reading has the ability to change the structure of our brain and people with good reading habits were found to have higher gray matter in the left temporal cortex of the brain. (Higher gray matter means higher ability to think to reason and to process more information)

Enriched Vocabulary:

This can positively affect different spheres of your life like, increase in standardized test scores and college admissions and job opportunities.

Increased Empathy:

Long term effects of reading psychological content has shown heightened ability to understand feelings of others.

Researchers refer to this ability as the “theory of mind,” a collection of skills essential for building, navigating, and maintaining social relationships.

Btw, at the end I would also say that, if you think the grammar of this article is too good for a human to write this article then I openly tell you that at times I did made some mistakes but I was using MS Word/Google Docs for typing so it flagged errors then and there and I rectified them immediately. (But strictly no use of currently trending LLMs and strictly no copy pasting of AI slop)

Let's make this world a better place to Live!

Disclaimer: Scientific note: The 2020 research referenced above found an association between reading performance and differences in brain structure; it should not be interpreted as definitive proof that reading alone causes these structural changes. The wording in the article reflects my understanding of the research at the time of writing.
