There's too many letters. I mean, you don't need more than a handful

Sorry I didn’t quite catch that. Could you repeat in simple language?

I concur. I have long suspected many of the people I work with have a learning disability, many I suspect are dyslexic. but perhaps you're right. maybe they simply can't read. not fully, anyway. they can read a couple of words and just make up the rest.

There are reels where the protagonist asks people to read and man its funny as hell: www.instagram.com/reel/DZoIiobKNaK/

That is harder to argue against every day.

would explain a lot

doesn't sound too far out tbh but how would you explain that they can spend all day in social media and watching reels on mute with big captions?

It's hard work. Reading requires attention and comprehension.

Most people don't struggle to read. They struggle to understand what they just read.

Pulled Jr out of public school in 4th grade, there were definitely kids in his class that couldn't read.

Reading is easy. Understanding is the real proof of work. 🧡

The bad spelling tells the tale. They all spell like they speak. It's obvious they haven't seen these words written anywhere. Could of/would of/should of, expresso, etc. If you assume that literate 15% is the "smartest" 15%, you're talking about people with an IQ over about 115. And if you've ever ...

And for them LLMs are a huge lifeline.

I can't write worth shit. True.

much less
