What's your cutoff year for reading books? (lemmy.ml)

Given how AI is already polluting the water of literary works, I'm likely never going to read a new book for quite some time, but will just pursue books before 2010.

Is 2010 a good cutoff?

No cut off. AI may have some books out there but not all. There will always be authors out there like Martha Wells, Sanderson, john Scalzi and even new debut authors all the time trying to write. Agree with other poster, you're only going to miss out by limiting yourself

Hopefully we won't need AI to write the 3rd Kingkiller chronicles book.
