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.

Not everyone likes to spend time reading and especially reading shit with antediluvian language.
Modern English isn't that old
I dont even know what "modern english" means. I feel like this is more book learning stuff that many don't care about and it's exactly why we need AI to circumvent all these terms and complexities.
You genuinely believe that older forms of the language shouldn't be maintained for cultural purposes? You want AI to take away human culture and replace it with mass produced generic text?
No, I want specialized linguistic Ph.D people to also understand it, but I think boring teenagers with language that old is unnecessary and pointless.
I have seen people use "unnecessary and pointless" for everything that you may study in high school from classics to calculus. I am thankful that I studied both.
People who have IQs less.than 110 are probably wasting time by studying Calculus.
Society uses a huge amount of time and resources to have people educated and it's bizarre how little specialiization and how much boredom is involved.
I do agree with you on the need for specialization to better suit children's ability
