People are reacting quite strongly to this answer, but it is unfortunately correct. OP has essentially created an application for memorising vocabulary, which is... fine, and it's an achievement to be celebrated.
But no amount of flashcards will make you a competent language speaker. There is no substitute for immersion.
What made it really click for me for me was reading. Lots and lots of it.
My suggestion is to start with short, easy stuff (stories for kids) and then move on to progressively harder material (short newspaper articles, essays).
I passed JLPT N1 back in 2013, and preparing for the test was just an exercise in memorising vocabulary and grammar patterns. What really made the language click for me was reading novels in Japanese. That alone helped me more than any amount of Anki-style JLPT prep material ever did.
Vocabulary is important, but it's much, much easier to absorb and retain if you learn it in context.
As someone who worked for the world's largest trade book publisher a decade ago, let me tell you that dealing with Amazon is the worst. They squeeze publishers' profit margins to the absolute minimum, and they aggressively force them to accept terrible deals because they have the upper hand.
Amazon has been horrible for the book industry. Please buy your books elsewhere!
Except when that happens, a clarification is almost always added at the bottom of the article ("This article was amended on [date]. An earlier version said xxx" or some variation thereof).
You're not gonna get a second push notification from an AI summary saying "Oopsies, the previous notification was wrong". Once it's out, it's out, and that sort of damage is difficult to repair.
Anything other than 0% is borderline immoral. Imagine sending a push notification to somebody's phone with a completely made-up headline summary. Even if it happens once in a hundred times, that's too much.
Things like that slowly but surely erode trust and make it harder and harder to trust anything that's generated by AI, especially when it comes to news, where trustworthiness is essential, and probably the main reason people pay for news. See for example https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cge93de21n0o
It's always laudable when OSS projects get some love, but... I'm slightly put off by programs that try to be witty or funny (e.g. flags like --decompose and --seance)
> They simply won’t do things they don’t want to do, and I actually kinda love that. The rising young generations want texts that matter to them, that reflect their lives and experiences.
This, I think, is the core argument of the piece. I find it depressing that a teacher thinks that books should reflect the readers' lived experiences. It's an incredibly narrow-minded view. Fran Lebowitz sums it up quite brilliantly in "Pretend it's a city": a book is not a mirror, it's a door.
