That number of articles is still pretty impressive. I’d rather have fewer, high quality articles, than millions of terrible quality AI articles.

The great thing about Wikipedia is that anyone can add articles! It also wouldn’t be too difficult to “translate” regular Wikipedia articles to simple ones. You could even use AI tools to help - there are text leveler tools that will help you recognize which words lower level readers would struggle with and can help you make those changes. But this cannot be an automated process.

I’ve done graduate level course work on modifying text for “EMLs” - “emerging multilingual learners.” (“ELL” is still okay, but lots of folks in the field prefer EML because it is prioritizing the students “assets.”) I’ve made several assignments for students with reading difficulties. When I did experiment a bit with AI tools to help me with this process, I had to do a lot of fine tuning to get an acceptable product.

Tbh, you just convinced me right now that I should start adding more articles myself.

Yeah - tbh the name sucks. I hate recommending it to students, because it feels like I’m calling them dumb.

But yes 100%. Instead of doing dumb AI shit, they should be advertising what they already have.

Thats why I mentioned Simple Wikipedia.

This is far more readable that what an AI generated version of the article would make.

Those Americans with a 6th grade reading level or less are precisely the people who shouldn’t be reading AI summaries. They’ll lack the critical thinking and reading skills to catch on to garbage.

Simple Wikipedia already exists and is great.

The same could be said of to-do lists, right? But I still like having an app with a checklist, because my phone is always with me and a piece of paper is not.

When I did have periods (thank god for testosterone), I had a really difficult time keeping track of them and they were often very irregular. The app I used helped me pick up patterns and would warn me when I needed to be prepped. My dysphoria cope was pretending that they didn’t happen ever, so it was helpful to have that occasional “hey, pack some pads today” as a notification without constantly checking a calendar.

It’s best to look out for their tactics rather than individuals. Nothing stops someone from making a new account once they get known to be a KF or /pol/ troll.

Hasn’t Elon said that he’s “retiring” like every month 47 has been in office?

Just bullshit to try to appease Tesla investors.

Yeah, he’s a really low effort bad faith troll that’s been basically just walking into conversations to sling shit everywhere for months. Not even worth interacting with.

This is why capitalists align with fascists.

Google, Meta, etc, are all taking the knee, because no regulation lets them slurp up our data. Target is shooting itself in the foot on DEI to appease stupid Mussolini, because a fascist autocrat doesn’t enforce labor protections.

Did John Romero make anyone his bitch with that one?

The only way to stop this shit is to live and fight.

Drops had an ai feature where it would show you a “fact” at the end of each session, which was often completely wrong etymology.

Think more.

I’m poor as shit and I think I’m pretty damn smart.

My ex was a trust fund baby and dumb as rocks. I did his college capstone for him.

That’s what Trump’s big legal battle with New York was about - lying about the value of a penthouse or something.

So much of these “rich” fuckers wealth is just bullshit on paper.
