Do you think there’s a general dumbing-down in society?

People think technology will do everything for them so they don’t need to do anything! No wonder employers are using AI for most things they can, the humans in their employ are only good for stacking shelves in the supermarket.

It was alarming how quickly AI was being embraced by people...for no particular reason other than it made things "so much easier".

So we have shitty computer code, wrong "answers", and wandering text "compositions".

We may never have whole sets of people ever compose a simple sentence‐‐the sad endpoint of a culture which doesn't read, can't spell, doesn't know grammar, and--as a result--struggles to produce even horrible self-expression in text...!

You, as a person in the magazine industry, should be particular shocked.
