If AI is doing the writing, it should do the reading too.
Naval argues that if artificial intelligence is used to generate written content, it should also be responsible for consuming and processing information on behalf of users.
Background
Naval Ravikant is a well-known entrepreneur, angel investor, and former CEO of AngelList. This short post captures a recurring concern in tech discourse: as people increasingly use AI tools (like ChatGPT or Claude) to write emails, reports, or code, they risk outsourcing the understanding that should accompany that writing. The implication is that relying on AI to read and summarize on your behalf degrades your own comprehension and critical thinking — you become merely a conduit between an AI reader and an AI writer, without learning anything yourself. This is an extension of older criticisms about "automation bias" and "cognitive offloading," updated for the generative-AI era.
