Sure, but they can read, synthesize information, understand things without it being spoonfed to them. Or at least a certain slice of the population can. But when that slice gets a really simplified interface they're going to be chained to it hopelessly. The day when people need a LLM / ""AI"" to translate real life for them into their personal vocabulary isn't far off. It won't signal the start of some enlightened age, instead, it'll be the end of literacy. These systems feed on the user, and then it gets recursive.
