A perfect storm is brewing for reading.<\/p>\n

AI arrived as both\u00a0kids<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0adults<\/a>\u00a0were already spending less time reading books than they did in the not-so-distant past.<\/p>\n

As a\u00a0linguist<\/a>, I study how technology influences the ways people\u00a0read<\/a>,\u00a0write<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0think<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This includes the impact of artificial intelligence, which is dramatically changing how people engage with books or other kinds of writing, whether it\u2019s assigned, used for research or read for pleasure. I worry that AI is accelerating an ongoing shift in the value people place on reading as a human endeavor.<\/p>\n

Everything but the book<\/strong><\/h4>\n

AI\u2019s\u00a0writing skills<\/a>\u00a0have gotten<\/a>\u00a0plenty of attention<\/a>. But researchers and teachers are only now starting to talk about AI\u2019s ability to \u201cread\u201d massive datasets before churning out summaries, analyses or comparisons of books, essays and articles.<\/p>\n

Need to read a novel for class? These days, you might get by with skimming through an AI-generated summary of the plot and key themes. This kind of possibility, which undermines people\u2019s motivation to read on their own,\u00a0prompted me to write a book<\/a>\u00a0about the pros and cons of letting AI do the reading for you.<\/p>\n

Palming off the work of summarizing or analyzing texts is hardly new. CliffsNotes\u00a0dates back to the late 1950s<\/a>. Centuries earlier, the Royal Society of London\u00a0began producing summaries of the scientific papers<\/a>\u00a0that appeared in its voluminous \u201cPhilosophical Transactions.\u201d By the mid-20th century, abstracts had become ubiquitous in scholarly articles. Potential readers could now peruse the abstract before deciding whether to tackle the piece in its entirety.<\/p>\n

The internet opened up an array of additional reading shortcuts. For instance, Blinkist is an app-based, subscription service\u00a0that condenses mostly nonfiction books into roughly 15-minute summaries<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 called \u201cBlinks\u201d \u2013 that are available in both audio and text.<\/p>\n

But generative AI elevates such workarounds to new heights. AI-driven apps like\u00a0BooksAI<\/a>\u00a0provide the kinds of summaries and analyses that used to be crafted by humans. Meanwhile,\u00a0BookAI.chat<\/a>\u00a0invites you to \u201cchat\u201d with books. In neither case do you need to read the books yourself.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re a student asked to compare Mark Twain\u2019s \u201cThe Adventures of Huckleberry Finn\u201d with J. D. Salinger\u2019s \u201cThe Catcher in the Rye\u201d as coming-of-age novels, CliffsNotes only gets you so far. Sure, you can read summaries of each book, but you still must do the comparison yourself. With general large language models or specialized tools such as\u00a0Google NotebookLM<\/a>, AI handles both the \u201creading\u201d and the comparing, even generating smart questions to pose in class.<\/p>\n

The downside is that you lose out on a critical benefit of reading a coming-of-age novel: the personal growth that comes from vicariously experiencing the protagonist\u2019s struggles.<\/p>\n

In the world of academic research, AI offerings like SciSpace, Elicit and Consensus combine the power of search engines and large language models. They locate relevant articles and then summarize and synthesize them, slashing the hours needed to conduct literature reviews. On its website,\u00a0Elsevier\u2019s ScienceDirect AI gloats<\/a>: \u201cGoodbye wasted reading time. Hello relevance.\u201d<\/p>\n

Maybe. Excluded from the process is judging for yourself what counts as relevant and making your own connections between ideas.<\/p>\n

Reader unfriendly?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Even before generative AI went mainstream, fewer people were reading books, whether for pleasure or for class.<\/p>\n

In the U.S., the National Assessment of Educational Progress reported that the number of fourth graders who read for fun almost every day\u00a0slipped from 53% in 1984 to 39% in 2022<\/a>. For eighth graders? From 35% in 1984 to 14% in 2023.\u00a0The U.K.\u2019s 2024 National Literacy Trust survey<\/a>\u00a0revealed that only one in three 8- to 18-year-olds said they enjoyed reading in their spare time, a drop of almost 9 percentage points from just the previous year.<\/p>\n

Similar trends exist among older students. In a 2018 survey of 600,000 15-year-olds across 79 countries,\u00a049% reported reading only when they had to<\/a>. That\u2019s\u00a0up from 36%<\/a>\u00a0about a decade earlier.<\/p>\n

The picture for college students is no brighter.\u00a0A spate<\/a>\u00a0of recent articles<\/a>\u00a0has chronicled how little reading is happening in American higher education.\u00a0My work with literacy researcher Anne Mangen<\/a>\u00a0found that faculty are reducing the amount of reading they assign, often in response to students refusing to do it.<\/p>\n

Emblematic of the problem\u00a0is a troubling observation<\/a>\u00a0from cultural commentator David Brooks:<\/p>\n

\u201cI once asked a group of students on their final day at their prestigious university what book had changed their life over the previous four years. A long, awkward silence followed. Finally a student said: \u2018You have to understand, we don\u2019t read like that. We only sample enough of each book to get through the class.\u2019\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Now adults \u2026 according to YouGov,\u00a0just 54% of Americans<\/a>\u00a0read at least one book in 2023. The situation in South Korea is even bleaker,\u00a0where only 43% of adults<\/a>\u00a0said they had read at least one book in 2023, down from almost 87% in 1994. In the U.K., The Reading Agency observed\u00a0declines in adult reading<\/a>\u00a0and hinted at one reason why. In 2024, 35% of adults identified as lapsed readers \u2013 they once read regularly, but no longer do. Of those lapsed readers, 26% indicated they had stopped reading because of time spent on social media.<\/p>\n

The phrase \u201clapsed reader\u201d might now apply to anyone who deprioritizes reading, whether it\u2019s due to lack of interest, devoting more time to social media or letting AI do the reading for you.<\/p>\n

All that\u2019s lost, missed and forgotten<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Why read in the first place?<\/p>\n

The justifications are endless, as are the streams of\u00a0books<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0websites<\/a>\u00a0making the case. There\u2019s\u00a0reading for pleasure<\/a>,\u00a0stress reduction<\/a>,\u00a0learning<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0personal development<\/a>.<\/p>\n

You can find correlations between reading and\u00a0brain growth in children<\/a>,\u00a0happiness<\/a>,\u00a0longevity<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0slowing cognitive decline<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This last issue is particularly relevant as people increasingly let AI do cognitive work on their behalf, a process known as\u00a0cognitive offloading<\/a>.\u00a0Research has emerged<\/a>\u00a0showing the extent<\/a>\u00a0to which\u00a0people are engaging in cognitive offloading<\/a>\u00a0when they use AI. The evidence reveals that the more users rely on AI to perform work for them, the less they see themselves as drawing upon their own thinking capacities.\u00a0A study employing EEG measurements<\/a>\u00a0found different brain connectivity patterns when participants enlisted AI to help them write an essay than when writing it on their own.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s too soon to know what effects AI might have on our long-term ability to think for ourselves. What\u2019s more, the research so far has largely focused on writing tasks or general use of AI tools, not on reading. But if we lose practice in reading and analyzing and formulating our own interpretations, those skills are at risk of weakening.<\/p>\n

Cognitive skills aren\u2019t the only thing at stake when we rely too heavily on AI to do our reading work for us. We also miss out on so much of what makes reading enjoyable \u2013 encountering a moving piece of dialogue, relishing a turn of phrase, connecting with a character.<\/p>\n

AI\u2019s lure of efficiency is tantalizing. But it risks undermining the benefits of literacy.<\/p>\n
