It used to be reading and writing were skills. People would strive to get better, usually by steeping themselves in the work of better writers so some rubs off.

Now, the llm summarizes the email, so you only have to be so literate to understand bullet points. The llm takes your bullet points and turns them into long form writing, because you can’t write. They say this is necessary because they aren’t good writers, but this creates a self fulfilling prophecy if they just avoid writing entirely.

A sad time when people are allowing their ability to read and write fall by the wayside. These used to be skills people valued and took pride in improving for themselves. Now people shut their brain off.

The people who do this will probably fall behind, and will maybe learn from that lesson in the long run.

When has that ever happened?

You are saying people who took shortcuts and fell behind because of it never learned a lesson from that? Not saying everyone would, but definitely some people do.

on an individual level it happens all the time, but I'm not sure it's ever happened broadly on a societal level?
