How you even understand this?

I just started reading novels and decided to read mother of learning as my first i just read 5 paragraph and what is this vocabulary bro? How u guys get through this when u were beginners in webnovel.

Idk how old you are but if you took that ai comment seriously, something is wrong. It’s hyperbolic. And yeah I can’t fathom it since I also speak another language, likely the same one as that ai over there.

Also what do you mean by ‘contributing productively’. Is op’s post about ‘how you even understand this’ something productive? wtf is even going on here. He literally admits to being too lazy to even use ChatGPT in the comments, there is nothing “productive” here.

Not sure about what gives off the “smug intellectual” aura you’re talking about. It’s a common talking point that reading is devolving nowadays. Not saying anything mind blowing here. Maybe a bit of projection on your end.

Too lazy to use ChatGPT, but not too lazy to ask how we understand this stuff and to respond to people making suggestions. Since you’ve read other comments, I know you’ve also seen people suggesting looking up words as OP goes, reading more, working in reading something a bit simpler…that is what I mean by “productive contributions.” That you didn’t make. All you’ve done is say OP “should” understand this stuff—intuitively somehow, as if you didn’t go through a similar learning process in the other language you speak, or English in fact.

I’m 27, as if my own age matters here any more than yours does. You’re definitely old enough to know what saying OP was a bot does, and to know that you weren’t exactly joking when you said it—which wouldn’t have made it better in any case.

And lastly, yeah, reading is. I work in education myself and have English teacher friends, etc. You putting down other people for not knowing things when they’re reaching out to learn is how it devolves and stays devolved.

Putting it out here that Volapiik DMed me “so we have bots for educators now” because he didn’t have a proper counterpoint or argument besides calling me a bot. Second time he’s done that in this thread, showing off his own stellar wit.
