Interesting take. And yeah, I agree that present AI is far from being of acceptable quality with the long form content, especially for fiction writing.
I don't think it will wane off with time, but will grow more. The new apps based on generative AI are empowering an average user without the relevant skills to create in a way that wasn't possible earlier. From creating gaming assets to powerful animations, it's impressive. So naturally people are excited about this.
Similar is the case on Product Hunt as well. But it includes all sorts of products - from simple wrappers around GPT-3 etc. to truly innovative apps. It's kind of becoming overwhelming. I write about AI products and learning resources in my free weekly newsletter https://aibrews.com
Reading a good book is just like having a mentor. And a mentor can help you only when you are doing something and not just dreaming! So, both are significant.
There is significance. These are bootstrapped founders. Made it on their own without investments. So, more relatable specially when they tell you how any book helped them in making business strategies.
Well, a few of the founders have clearly mentioned how their business has been influenced by their recommended book. It depends on the book. And of course reading alone doesn't make anyone successful. A good book is like having a mentor.
No. If you see the quotes of the founders in the same article, a few have clearly discussed how the books had an impact on their business strategy. This is what I truly found insightful.
