Show Notes
Brad shared research on the US literacy rate. This research indicates just how hard it will be for college admissions personnel or college advisors to determine if something were written by a human or by an AI tool like ChatGPT. Only 2% of the US population with a high enough literacy level to critically assess written content for truth or accuracy.
