Whether or not you said you like reading isn't really applicable. That you find books complicated and want a computer to dumb it down for you to the extent that you maybe can't read a book anymore is indicative of the mental acuity you are capable of bringing to a conversation or task.

Critical thinking is an exercise that one must keep up with, regardless of interest, if one is to be able to maintain effectiveness of it. Supplanting one's own capabilities with a regression model will cause one's abilities to atrophy and further a dependence on that algorithm regardless of its own incremental improvements.

Books are not inherently complicated. They make them for kids. The fact you find them thus is an indicator of your own lack of ability.
