      Is stripping the beauty out of literature an accessibility improvement?

      Feels like you’re handing someone a picture of a square and telling them they can’t appreciate a real Picasso.

        Given that a large portion of society, at least US society, can’t comprehend simple concepts - I am willing to dumb the beauty out of some things to help them grow.

        Your point is valid and correct - but there might be reasons such a thing might be helpful.

          That’s routinely overstated and deliberately misconstrued, often for the purpose of gutting social and economic institutions.

          AI is leverage to this end, routinely. A very clumsy, inaccurate, and chinzy tool is inserted between people on the grounds that’s they’re too thick headed to communicate with one another.

          The end result is more confusion, more frustration, and less coherence as people struggle to parse language that’s been mangled into a 4th grade reading level.
