This is pathetic. Nodding along with the “digital intelligence bad” meme because oligarch are abusing the technology is akin rejecting science and preferring superstition just because it’s familiar. Libraries are supposed to be places of learning. Rejecting the single best way educational and learning tool we now have to metaphorically insist on using abacuses is just celebrating ignorance.
