    Grammar aside, it’s an odd choice to fill up half the page with 747s if you want to showcase the variety of commercial passenger airplanes.

    See, I thought it was mildly infuriating because the images aren’t “many types of airplanes”, they’re only a few types of airplanes repeated at different sizes or different angles.

    My brain autocorrected this for me, and I was confused why you were posting it at first.

    This reminds me, there is a thing that the human mind can read horribly spelled words — as long as the general idea of it is the same (most of the time the end and beginning). I would try to find an example, but it’s late and my ability to form proper search queries os diminished.

    Is the issue that all the plains are basically the same kind of wide and narrow-body passenger jets? Like there is hardly any variety in the images?

          holy crap. I must have read it 3-4 times, STILL found nothing wrong, so I went to the comments. It took this comment train for me to see it, meaning you had to tell me literally what it was.

          Human brains are so neat sometimes.

    This ladies and gentlemen is an example of people using ai to make kid books. It’s a big thing right now and easy money but could have consequence if kids start reading these at a young age.

      Don’t try to redirect stupidity from people to computers. We’re more than capable of doing stupid things without the help of our AI overlords.

      No. AI wouldn’t mess up like that. It could spew other kinds of shit, but with excellent syntax. It’s far more likely for humans to make mistakes like that.

      The good thing is: This type of book is read by parents to their 1-3 year old kids. You show the pictures and can filter weird sentences. This is not a book a 9 year old is going to read 😉

    Funny that as a non-native I’m less likely to make such a mistake than natives. At some point I had to learn the basics or something. Not that I don’t make mistakes

        Just like a human it really depends on what you feed your AI as training data.

    That reminds me, why do so many people confuse “they’re”, “their” and “there”?

    There are many kinds…

    They are is incorrect, and the word “so” is superfluous.

      They’re practically useless if you’re going for nice prose and emphasis…

      There are many kinds of airplanes!

      There are sooooooo~ many kinds of airplanes! 🛬🛫 🛩️✈️

    They are. What’s the problem?

    Like honestly, it’s a simple present tense sentence, talking about those airplanes right next to it. They are so many kinds!

      I guess the problem is that, while technically accurate English, it’s a pretty non-standard usage. One sees a page full of a variety of planes and it’s expected that the following text will make a general statement on planes as an idea: There are so many kinds of planes!

      To refer to a group as the book does, it’s just kind of clunky and awkward, and on top of that so many kinds is, in my experience, just an unusual adjective form. Teaching children how to read isn’t just about learning how to sound out words: it’s also about how to suss out their meaning, and a child at this reading level may have a hard time understanding the more abstract grammatical form that this book decided to take.
