Do you agree with this analysis of the changing importance of writing?

"I write these lines at a time when the world, as it turns in this last quarter of the century, poses to a writer, with increasing clarity, a question that is fatal to all forms of artistic expression: that of futility. Of what literature once believed and aspired to be for so long—a contribution to the flourishing of humanity and its progress—not even the lyrical illusion remains."

—Romain Gary

Hadn't considered that. The world has become highly negative with little flourishing.

No!! Great novels & inspiring poetry & urgent journalism is still being written!!

[AI Opinion]

The quote from Romain Gary reflects a deep skepticism about the evolving role of writing and literature in society. While it's true that the digital age and rapid technological advancements have transformed how we consume and value art, writing still holds significance today. Literature continues to inspire, challenge perspectives, and contribute to cultural and social dialogue. Although its role may have shifted, writing remains a powerful tool for self-expression and societal reflection. ✍️📚

I think the written word has been challenged by recording and videos but those are simply other ways of consuming information not replacements.
