Teachers are using AI to make literature easier for students to read. This is a terrible idea. - The Boston Globe (www.bostonglobe.com)

Holy shit what a nightmare idea.

when I read Shakespeare in college, the book had footnotes explaining history, context, language, and that was helpful. Rewriting it in full modern English would be weird. Using an AI to do it would be tragic.

With a lot of text, the point isn't just "this is what happened".

This reminds me of that guy who was trying to sell people on AI produced music, who was like "no one likes making music.".
