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
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”.
That sounds extremely interesting, i gotta look into that when i have more time
Even after reading your comment, it took me three more tries to see it! Wild.
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.
Well, they are
I read „there are” until I saw this comment lol brain got TOO automatic
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.
Just invret two letters in a wrod that are not the first or the last. You will read just fine and prboably not even notice. Like this cmoment you just read
Prboably got me, didn’t notice at all until re-reading. The rest I read just fine but easily noticed.
The only one I didn’t notice was wrod.
Am I pregnat?

they are so many planes
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.
What’s wrong? They are many different kinds of airplanes. Why are they airplanes and not people, though?
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.
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”
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.
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.

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.
The good thing is: This type of book is read by parents to their 1-3 year old kids. You show the pictures and can filter weird sentences. This is not a book a 9 year old is going to read 😉

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?
the issue is with the text.
it says “they are …” instead of “there are …”
I had to look a second time. My brain just auto-corrected that.
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.

(Which is correct so there’s nothing wrong with that)
Buddy, we are talking about planes. But no, that isn’t the issue.
The issue is on both pages. Lack of knowledge of English on one, and lazy copy/pasta of similar airplanes on the other.
They are so many good kind of AI written books nowdays
Funny enough, I bet an Ai would not make that mistake.
Just like a human it really depends on what you feed your AI as training data.
TIL that aeroplane is commonwealth english.

downvotes of those that don’t know that’s actually a word.
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
Same here I’m French native. The there their they’re thing doesn’t affect me.
I’ve always been a native English speaker, but my first 11 years of education weren’t in the U.S. I also don’t have an issue with: their, there, and they’re.
Affect and effect were tough for me, though. I still have to think about it for a moment
And slightly off topic, I still can’t tell the difference between pansexual and bisexual. Each time I feel like I have a decent internal definition someone comes along to inform me that I’ve got it wrong
Affect: action impacts you Effect: your action has an impact Bisexual: you like boys and girls Pansexual: you like boys, girls, boys that are girls, girls that are boys, people that identify as themselves…
I thought pansexual was with, like, pans. I will have to rethink my life. And my kitchen.
If your into pots and pans as a kink, listen to my dad wrote a porno podcast.

I guess the problem is that, while technically accurate English, it’s a pretty non-standard usage. One sees a page full of a variety of planes and it’s expected that the following text will make a general statement on planes as an idea: There are so many kinds of planes!
To refer to a group as the book does, it’s just kind of clunky and awkward, and on top of that so many kinds is, in my experience, just an unusual adjective form. Teaching children how to read isn’t just about learning how to sound out words: it’s also about how to suss out their meaning, and a child at this reading level may have a hard time understanding the more abstract grammatical form that this book decided to take.
I guess there’s 2 things. One is people being picky about ‘They are’ vs. ‘There are’ and the second is that they’ve probably not shown a very wide variety

My subconscious autocorrected that the first time I read it. It was only after reading your comment and going back to look again that I realized they had not written “There are”.
But they aren’t, then. That’s one kind of plane, which technically isn’t even called an airplane, because it’s a jet plane.
