Successive generations are losing the ability to read in third person. In a few decades there will only be 3rd grade-level AI-written slop catering to the lowest denominator. People are going to lose the ability to empathize with other human beings and to think abstractly. Reading a text closely will be an extinct skill by the end of the century; there will be no one left able to read the likes of Dickens for example. Human beings are demonstrably and evidently becoming dumber and dumber with less capacity to think abstractly. Soon it won't just be sub-80 IQ jigaboos not able to answer the proverbial "how would you feel if you didn't eat breakfast this morning?" it'll be everyone. Are we fucked? We're definitely fucked.
