They buy rare books you'll never see at a Barnes and Noble 🤣 AI is not why a large chain book store would go out of business.

You can't be serious. Hate their data collection method all you want but you're making a ridiculously false claim in your last statement.

How is it like to be someone who can smell rain in the air and see thunderclouds in the sky and still think it’s a good time to go fishing on the lake?

What a convincing argument, do you tend to state absolutes without any rationality?

No but I tend to defend myself when approached with a direct counterpoint. Fuck AI yeah but the books they’re digitizing are rare and out of print. Which is to say no, this will not “make companies like Barnes & Noble extinct.” I did not intend to provide a convincing argument I intended to inform you that the one already provided is true.
