Well that was rude.... They just want to know how to die their hair! Reported...

Why can nobody read or spell anymore? Wtf is happening
Gen A got left behind on spelling and grammar. Too much of it that they use is automated, they find grammar to be lame, and thanks to our "pass kids or lose funding" system of public schools they all just get to coast through while not really learning much.
Yeah, my Gen A kids can't read at all. They only know half their letters...shameful
Not to put too fine a point on it but whose fault is that?
Danged gen z/late millennial parents not teaching their kids the alphabet before/during kindergarten.
Lol
It's a joke, bro. They're not in school yet. Most of Gen alpha is still very young.

Gen A?
Alpha, the one after Gen Z, which is after Millennials, which is after Gen X, which was named that not because it was the 24th, but because they didn't have a good name so they used X as a placeholder for an unknown name.
Generations are slightly bullshit tho. Birthdate definitely matters, but it more of a continuum / spectrum than discrete generations.
There's definite bleed over , and the differences are loose generalities than facts, but there's definite patterns that emerge between music, fashion, and technology.
Like how gen Z and especially A can't really use computers or understand file structure well, or that mellennials are the last gen who mostly know cursive. Or how anti bully gen z is compared to earlier gens.

Gen α
ChatGPT said:
Great question — and kind of a loaded one, right? It definitely feels like reading and spelling skills have taken a nosedive in recent years. There are a few reasons people often point to:
-
Tech dependence: Autocorrect and predictive text mean we don’t have to think about spelling anymore. Same with grammar checkers. It’s like outsourcing our brains to our devices.
-
Less reading for fun: People, especially younger generations, tend to read less traditional material (like books or long articles) and more short-form content (texts, tweets, memes). That impacts vocabulary and attention to proper language.
-
Educational shifts: Some argue schools have moved away from foundational skills like phonics and spelling drills in favor of broader literacy or test-focused approaches. Others say students aren’t getting enough one-on-one help, especially in underfunded schools.
-
Language evolution: English is constantly changing. Spelling gets looser, grammar rules shift, and new words enter the mix all the time. Some see this as decline, others as evolution.
But what’s your take — are you seeing this in schools, at work, online?
Thank you for thinking for me. I was afraid of doing that for myself.
(I get that your comment is tongue-in-cheek, not sure everyone else will)
I was about to downvote the AI slop, but your reply gave it enough context that Imma leave it alone.
Ironic that you're using ChatGPT when the answer is quite literally ChatGPT
People had bad spelling before chatgpt
Bad grammar as well. I see posts all the time where people don't even put periods at the ends of their sentences

Yes a two year old tech broke people's brains 20 years ago. If chatgpt broke spelling what broke your concept of causality?
Everyone expects the LLMs to do it for them
Yes people stopped learning to spell because of a technology from the last 2 years. Ha ha. What fun.

the wikipedia take:
No, but your spelling is.
"Hello hotline? I've been feeling pretty blue lately and thought about dyeing that way. Can you give me any tips to be sure I don't mess it up?"
Gotta remember to use the right concentration of bleach.
Marge Simpson in shambles.
Excuse me, she is an all-natural bluehead. She definitely does NOT have a stash of #56 dye hidden in the upstairs closet!
The word for dying hair is spelled dye, searching "how to die" triggered the bot.
Y'all ever feel like those messages are just to keep their worker drones alive? Like do tech companies actually give s shit? I'm sorry if that's controversial and no i'm not suicidal.
Absolutely, I hate this shit. It feels incredibly fake and overbearing if it’s an automatic/“broadcast” message.
Sometimes it’s designed so that it’s actively dangerous too. I said “Siri, kill me” to my phone and it started calling emergency services. Are they trying to get people fined for abuse?
This is still better than actually answering the question, though.
Dye man, AHHHAAAHAAAAHHH
Fighter of the bleach man AHHAAAHAAAAHHH
Champion of the cloth AHHAAAHAAAAHHH
He's the master of the Tye-dye and friendship for everyone!
Funny, I experimented with DDG, and they gave me a wikiHow with instructions on how to spend your final days if you know you're dying. I guess the search engine makes all the difference.
I once searched for whale song on YouTube and got one of those.
Can confirm - yes. It would look that bad. Or maybe it’s just my face.
It was probably the shade of blue that didn't suit your coloration. If you really did want blue hair, there is likely a shade that would harmonize with your features better.
This got a literal laugh out of me
Is that the traditional or modern definition of “literal”?
From context, it seems clear that you're literally the most fun person to be around.
Honestly, it took me a minute. Then a laugh.
It could be worse. People use the Reddit suicide report feature to report a post and basically tell people to kill themselves as an insult/troll. You basically have to put that notification on ignore.
This is apparently a MAGA thing that they do.
