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".
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?

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.
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.

thesethey at a young age.FTFY
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 on both pages. Lack of knowledge of English on one, and lazy copy/pasta of similar airplanes on the other.
TIL that aeroplane is commonwealth english.
Brought to you by the people who spell jail as gaol
downvotes of those that don't know that's actually a word.
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.
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
That reminds me, why do so many people confuse "they're", "their" and "there"?
Because we speak a very stupid language that has words that are pronounced the same but spelled different
Because their committed to the bit that the only thing they learned in school is that "the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell."
All airplanes are jetliners.
Guess what gets assembled in factories in Texas...
Do there make planes there?
Pft. Can’t even spell they’re. Figure it out.
When Ron DeSantis and Greg Abbott join forces to create the new learning plan...
Depending on context, this might not be wrong. It could be part of an "it is an airplane" -> "they are a few airplanes" -> "they are so many airplanes!" progression.
Is it?
I don't get it.
"They [sic] are..."
My brain just filled it in, I had to read the comments to notice.
That's literally just civilian airliners. Only one type of plane
Sure, but they're different in kind. Double deckers, twin engine. I think getting kids to spot the differences is interesting.
So is this just some AI generated crap or what
Probably a bad transition, AI is fairly coherent nowadays when it comes to grammar and sentence structure, It's facts it gets wrong.
Yes it is.
Draw some Trade Center Towers on the page with the text and everytime you pass the page you can have your own 9/11
Be careful, you might cut yourself on that edge.
Shortstop's the best position they is.
