Just... no. As a writer, I object to this thing, so damn hard! I do not pour so much time into my writings just for them to be dumbed down by some... some... just... NO! This is so very wrong, and defeats the purpose of writing and reading.

How does that work exactly? Does it just give you the Cliff’s Notes version of the story, or does it (shudder) use AI?

Can it turn a calculus text into a fourth-grade reading-level text? I see *some* uses, but not for *literature*. Use this to =increase= human understanding? Sure. Use it to gloss literature? My [best] educators specifically included test questions which showed who =only= read the Cliff Notes.
