    Is this an AI that can’t understand context and details?

    There’s a chart in the article in quotes saying ban social media for anyone under 16. Its a regular sentence in double quotes (a quote at both ends) and clearly does not indicate inches when you consider that the start of that line starts with a double quote. The attendance implies ‘years old’.

    Plus basically everyone on earth is taller than 16 inches so almost no one would be banned based on this assertion they assumed was being made.

      Is this an AI that reads the first sentence of every comment without reading the rest, and can’t understand context and details?

      This is a great example why properly presenting data is important.

      People today DON’T read, and that is why your graph/figure game has to be on point.

      Why are we linking to substack articles when we can link directly to the study in question?

      I have a stem degree. I always want to see the raw data to make my own conclusions, not be spoon fed a narrative that was written by authors with potential bias they are trying to fit to the data. Out of habit, I look at the data before reading, and I just happened to notice the error in the graph. The substack article only presents a single graph from the full study, and there is way more data there in the full study.
