Well, over half of Americans read below a 6th grade reading level[1], so it seems like AI content is satisfactory, given the median reading skills.

National Geographic's audience might not tend toward the lowest denominator.

There's a good chance that people who read that magazine have a higher average reading level.

That's not a positive point for llms. That's just a horrific indictment on how badly the US education has failed.

Past tense. It has failed. It's not failing.
