some kind of literacy crash course...

I love how today actual literacy isn't even a thing. No one talks about teaching readimg and writing (in the EU, at least). It's all about financial literacy, digital literacy, social media literacy, hell, even (and bear with me here) AI literacy. Yes, really. There's probably 800 of these fake literacies floating around.

Whoever thought of this is an idiot. The word literacy means one thing: the ability to read and write (and perhaps understand what you read/wrote). Nothing more, nothing less.

It isn't just stupid, it's also malicious. Kids all over the globe are suffering from poor literacy, and instead of fixing the problem you quite literally shift the goalposts.

Why be able to read and consult a dictionary when I can just consult AI or social media to explain it to my borderline-illiterate brain?

DON'T LOOKObligatory /s for the final paragraph

When AI services enshittify by raising their price barriers, or when just... infrastructure generally collapses to a serious degree such that many people just literally cannot use them...

Much of Gen Z and A, either reliant on or just totally raised on using AI to do their thinking and work for them...

They will basically go feral, they won't be able to get their fix, a part of their 'brain' will have been 'removed', and they will literally be dysfunctional.

And I shouldn't just single out younger people, though its more prevalent and severe with them, there are certainly many millenials and older who've also just given up good chunks of their thinking abilities to AI, which is largely a proprietary service that go undergo a price hike just like Xbox or Netflix.

... I used to think the ending to DX Human Revolution was a tropey cop out, that broke from basically the rest of the game's narrative and gameplay themes, just a zombie apocalypse at the end of your spy thriller.

Now I realize that was the point, maybe still a bit hamfisted or over the top, but... yep, yep, people become reliant on things they aren't actually 8n control of for just basic day to day living, and then you actually break that, take it away from them?

Yep, zombie apocalypse is not too far off from what would actually play out.
