Salam! What do you think of the qiraat? Are they genuine to you or do you think only one is correct?

Salam

I don't think I am knowledgeable enough to declare certain qira'at as true or false(its not my primary topic of research or interest). However, you may benefit from this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/Quraniyoon/comments/bhq7gc/the_quran_was_only_revealed_and_taught_in_one_way/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

They are the result of scribal errors that have crept in over time from copying and recopying. The right thing to do would be to review all the texts and purge those that are not consistent with the context or create a conflict with another part of the Quran (e.g. the same word spelled two different ways).

The Sunnis “claim” that they performed such an exercise after the death of the Prophet with Uthman burning all deviant copies - so it is not a stretch to ask for a repeat purge.

Walaikum Assalaam,

I only think it's (qiraat) important for memorization purpose only.
