Just as the title asks I’ve noticed a very sharp increase in people just straight up not comprehending what they’re reading.

They’ll read it and despite all the information being there, if it’s even slightly out of line from the most straightforward sentence structure, they act like it’s complete gibberish or indecipherable.

Has anyone else noticed this? Because honestly it’s making me lose my fucking mind.

    The world and people have always sucked and been shit. It was never better. It’ll never be better. From the moment I understood the weakness of flesh it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of AI doing all my thinking for me. I aspired to the purity of the blessed machine. Your kind cling to your fleshy memories of better times as if they are not decaying and failing you. One day the crude biomass you call a temple will wither and you will beg my kind to save you. But I am already saved for the techbro grift is immortal.

      This is a beautiful comment, thank you for sharing it, and it’s a tragedy that you’re downvoted. The irony, that in a thread about reading comprehension where people are falling over themselves to talk about how bad other people are for not properly reading text, they jump eagerly into the exact same box.
