"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

They don't want literate people. The majority of American adults read below a sixth grade level, and about a quarter are functionally illiterate - source
(Though my personal favorite statistic from that page is that 2/3 of illiterate Americans were born in the US, who often the same people who complain endlessly about immigrants speaking multiple languages)
Is that stat just English literacy?
If someone can read Spanish but not English, are they deemed illiterate?
How do I test my own reading level?
