"ORAL TRADITION AND AI"

"During the pre-modern era, there was an emphasis on oral tradition when there was lots of illiteracy amongst the masses. People used to practice over and over again about memorizing lots of information when they couldn't read or write (which shocked the orientalists who didn't believe that that such an oral tradition persisted). After the modernization period across the world where the nation-state forced children into state-schools (which japan did do during the 'Meiji period'), literacy rates increased amongst the masses. As the masses became more literate, there was an 'easing' of the communication barriers where grammar rules were broken and the quality of writing declined as the masses wanted information that was easily understandable. The internet accelerated this where new slang words came and now masses of people wanted to communicate globally where the english language became a 'global' language such that broken english was understandable to even a native. When search engines such as google and bing was introduced, people shifted away from using books towards 'googling it' which probably is associated with a decline of the number of people reading books. Now chatgtp and deepseek are the new 'google' where the introduction of it is a pivotal moment such that now nation-states are rushing to compete. Yet are these competitors willing to neglect the literacy of their citizens? Liberals pride themselves in giving worldly education to females whilst they compare themselves with the taliban who recently prevented females from doing nursery courses. Now the female schoolchildren are now using chatgtp to do their essays. Instead of 'google it' now it is 'chatgtp it'. Already there has been a decline of the ability amongst the youth to pay attention to things after using tiktok. There is a possibility that there is going to be mass illiteracy amongst the western masses without an oral tradition being emphasised by westerners after the usage of AI."
