Grammar aside, it's an odd choice to fill up half the page with 747s if you want to showcase the variety of commercial passenger airplanes.

It genuinely took me a while to see what was wrong with it, my brain was autocorrecting it

[-] Barack_Embalmer@lemmy.world 31 points 10 months ago

Many modern theories in cognitive science posit that the brain's objective is to be a kind of "prediction machine" to predict the incoming stream of sensory information from the top down, as well as processing it from the bottom up. This is sometimes referred to through the aphorism "perception is controlled hallucination".

See, I thought it was mildly infuriating because the images aren’t “many types of airplanes”, they’re only a few types of airplanes repeated at different sizes or different angles.

My brain autocorrected this for me, and I was confused why you were posting it at first.

This reminds me, there is a thing that the human mind can read horribly spelled words — as long as the general idea of it is the same (most of the time the end and beginning). I would try to find an example, but it’s late and my ability to form proper search queries os diminished.

Disregarding the bad grammar, the picture shows a terrible variety of airplanes. They're all some sort of commercial passenger jet.

It's like saying, "there's so many kinds of motorcycles!" while showing only various Harleys. Let's just ignore the dirt bikes, sport bikes, and everything in between.

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 26 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

What's wrong? They are many different kinds of airplanes. Why are they airplanes and not people, though?

[-] waigl@lemmy.world 33 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Using "they" when you haven't yet established the group you are referring to in context feels weird and kinda wrong, especially if it's about a group of inanimate objects. It really looks like the word should have been "there", but they just mistyped and then didn't catch the error in the editing process or didn't bother to correct it.

That's what I think is wrong here. I'm not 100% sure that this grammatically wrong, but it sure feels like it. Might depend on what the page before this one said.

[-] LazaroFilm@lemmy.world 12 points 10 months ago

It’s in a book for 5 years old to learn to read. It’s supposed to be simple words in simple sentences. This is not it.

Should be “There”

[-] not_that_guy05@lemmy.world 25 points 10 months ago

This ladies and gentlemen is an example of people using ai to make kid books. It's a big thing right now and easy money but could have consequence if kids start reading these at a young age.

[-] francisfordpoopola@lemmy.world 29 points 10 months ago

Don't try to redirect stupidity from people to computers. We're more than capable of doing stupid things without the help of our AI overlords.

[-] Ddhuud@lemmy.world 24 points 10 months ago

No. AI wouldn't mess up like that. It could spew other kinds of shit, but with excellent syntax. It's far more likely for humans to make mistakes like that.

Is the issue that all the plains are basically the same kind of wide and narrow-body passenger jets? Like there is hardly any variety in the images?

[-] RAM@discuss.tchncs.de 37 points 10 months ago

the issue is with the text.

it says "they are .." instead of "there are ..."

[-] tiramichu@lemm.ee 30 points 10 months ago

I had to look a second time. My brain just auto-corrected that.

[-] CraigeryTheKid@lemm.ee 13 points 10 months ago

holy crap. I must have read it 3-4 times, STILL found nothing wrong, so I went to the comments. It took this comment train for me to see it, meaning you had to tell me literally what it was.

Human brains are so neat sometimes.

Buddy, we are talking about planes. But no, that isn't the issue.

[-] Sensitivezombie@lemmy.zip 19 points 10 months ago

The issue is on both pages. Lack of knowledge of English on one, and lazy copy/pasta of similar airplanes on the other.

[-] Bagel5941@aussie.zone 17 points 10 months ago

TIL that aeroplane is commonwealth english.

Funny that as a non-native I’m less likely to make such a mistake than natives. At some point I had to learn the basics or something. Not that I don’t make mistakes

[-] LazaroFilm@lemmy.world 10 points 10 months ago

Same here I’m French native. The there their they’re thing doesn’t affect me.

"They" instead of "their."

Can't tell if you're trolling

[-] hansl@lemmy.world 19 points 10 months ago
[-] perishthethought@lemm.ee 9 points 10 months ago

Ha. And now I'm crying/laughing. Thank you all.

[-] Sotuanduso@lemm.ee 19 points 10 months ago

Honest mistake, but I wanna double down because its funnier that way.

That reminds me, why do so many people confuse "they're", "their" and "there"?

[-] thecrotch@sh.itjust.works 8 points 10 months ago

Because we speak a very stupid language that has words that are pronounced the same but spelled different
