AI effect is delayed in less rich population.

Spain is as rich as Japan on GDP PPP, richer than Israel and New Zealand.

Readership issues in countries like the USA started way before mass adoption of AI, so also it's not related to AI effects.

Saying Spain is rich while half the population lives on 1,000 euros per month (mil euristas) is crazy or just very "technically accurate".

[elnatro]

It is less than the half, and there is a big unregulated economy in those regions.

boy howdy let me tell you about how little the USA-ians often live on, or how low the pay is in Japan

[Anduia]

I don't think "less rich population" is an accurate description of Spain. It's a high-income developed country. Perhaps you assumed the article was about Spanish speakers worldwide rather than Spain specifically?

[elnatro]

Are you one of those Americans that think that Spain is in Latin-America?
