If The Great Gatsby is a difficult book, what is something like Finnegan's Wake or Ulysses? Actually, I am kind of interested in how AI would destroy those works.

I love when they invent new problems to sell you the solution.
It's no bad thing per se. The amount of information increases and the original still exists. One of the joys of reading is that as you get better at it you can read more sophisticated texts. You won't need this weak sauce AI pap after a while.

Imagine how it’d butcher Finnegan’s Wake:
Which brought us this headline last year:
Reading one page a month over 20-some years, I couldn't tell you very much about the plot. What you're really getting, sitting down for an hour and reading one page, is just really diving into the details of that specific moment.
Even that one page was a mystery, but some phrases really struck out to me for example 'brewed by arclight' gives a right sketchy feel for moonshine.
