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.

Linguists aren't behavioral psychologists or K-12 educators. Being challenged by unfamiliar language is an incredibly important experience in developing reading comprehension. It's not that a bigger vocabulary makes you smarter, it's that the process of understanding more complex language helps you both understand and formulate more complex ideas.

If you can't understand something, you don't get challenged, you just skip it. You need to be getting 98%-99% of the text to gain something from reading it
