All right all right, I get why this is kind of funny and perhaps it's potentially a bad sign for humanity.
But consider an adult who's learning the English language and is still at a basic level. If they want reading practice, they are often stuck with kids books. This would make practice a lot more interesting.
There are SOME uses for this, but I still suspect its just going to fuel the already piss literacy levels in the United States. Albeit, for people learning English as a second language this is a legitimate use-case imo
People reading more might actually make them better readers, Even if it's too simple for your standards!
I'm sure people are going to ask the AI "translate this text into a reading level that is just ahead of mine so I still improve"
Why not
