Thanks for the heads up. We are going to look into it.

BTW after you called them out they have started adding a bigger difference between the posts.

What book(s) are you currently reading or listening to? March 24 - Discuss Online

Hello everyone! The weekly threads are back after a small hiatus. I was reading Rosemary and Rue [https://www.librarything.com/work/8103463/] by Seanan McGuire (first book in her October Daye urban fantasy series), picked it up again but bookmark had dropped somewhere and I couldn’t find where I was, so may start from some earlier place. What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening to lately? — For details on the c/Books Bingo, check the Midpoint check-in [https://threadiverse.link/lemmy.world/post/38545766] post.

Finished Mistborn: Secret Histories [https://www.librarything.com/work/17152292/t/Mistborn-Secret-History] novella. Don’t want to spoil, but it was really exciting to read this secret history.

This is my first Seanan McGuire book, have heard a lot about her. Still skimming through The Bullet Journal Method [https://www.librarything.com/work/22205950/] by Ryder Caroll. Putting Ultra-processed Food [https://www.librarything.com/work/30205807/] by Chris van Tulleken on hold for a bit, shouldn’t have started multiple non-fiction at once.

“Why read another human’s writing if an AI’s is better?”

I think that was the whole point, this is “the hidden cost of AI Art”. AI (or LLMs) might be able to compete (or supersede us) on the end-product level, but it can’t create “art”. If you don’t care about art, then the whole discussion doesn’t matter, but then it will cost us our growth as humans.

The Hidden Cost of AI Art: Brandon Sanderson

The Hidden Cost of AI Art: Brandon Sanderson - Discuss Online

An interesting keynote about hidden cost of AI Art by the author Brandon Sanderson. I might be a bit biased though, since Sanderson is my favourite author, and I am resistant to some of the things “AI” is used for, if not completely anti-AI. What do you think about this? Note: It’s from the event in Dec 2025, it was just posted in text form recently. If you want to watch the video, you can do it here: https://youtu.be/RXyWtp8tuYY?t=1988 [https://youtu.be/RXyWtp8tuYY?t=1988] (might have to go couple of seconds forward or backward)

Oh, there’s still a book left. 4 books in total in Era 2. Will let you know after I finish that, but it seems to be getting even better!
