Are you saying that reading comprehension is an outdated technology?

Look, I had a zoomer colleague of mine ask GPT to solve a moral dilemma in a personality test at work...

It's...rough out there.

As a certified couch psychologist, I'd wager this is also about the influencer culture and reaction videos etc.

People WANT to know how to feel about things, so they watch how other people react to them and form their opinions on that.

In the zoomer colleague case they most likely had a vague opinion, but needed a second opinion from someone (or something) to form their own properly

Which is really sad.

I mean, if my goal was getting the correct answer that will satisfy the employer, I'd ask GPT too. The employer might not like my honest answer.

Surely reading comprehension is still required for, well, reading AI-generated text. Perhaps it's not their intention but I read an implication that using humans to source facts is outdated, which is... well, I'll just assume that I'm misunderstanding their perspective.

Found the optimist. (no, it unfortunately not required. Imagine, if you will, the world's worst version of the Telephone game...)

Sure, but the same failure mode exists for readers of human writing.
