I can’t read it (lol) due to paywall, but 100% it’s because we stopped teaching kids how to read. But good luck trying to hold public schools accountable! https://www.nytimes.com/2023/06/06/podcasts/the-daily/readin...

The article is about "AI" not people stopping reading even before "AI".

Someone trying to jump on the bandwagon...

Right. But you don’t think the giant education gap right before AI isn’t the primary reason?

Oh dang, we were all worried about time traveling AI, right?

Sorry but if we can't correlate learning to read with literacy we're not allowed to correlate anything at all. Comprehension is massive and the difference between college and 6th great reading comprehension is an ocean that influences whether people pick anything up or pass it to ChatGPT.

Sorry but that’s still not relevant. The article takes a totally different view on what’s happening. Other sides could be valid too but they’re not part of the article.

Agreed that society deciding to "educate" children with iPads instead of books would lead to unforeseen consequences for their cognitive skills.
