CEOs say AI overload is cutting their reading time and sparking concerns

A growing number of CEOs claim that the proliferation of AI-crafted articles and summaries is cutting into the time they spend reading books and detailed reports. They contend that AI-driven shortcuts erase nuance and originality, prompting a handful of executives to deliberately read more traditionally. The trend coincides with reports that AI now creates more online content than human writers, and with concerns over AI-generated books designed to exploit search trends.

Andy Hunter of Bookshop.org highlights the danger of fraudulent AI titles and calls for human recommendation systems. Meanwhile, industry observers note that while AI raises the baseline quality to a B+, it also expands a mediocre middle ground that dilutes true thought leadership.
