Unironically a kind of smart use of AI - i can see some works from 1912 or earlier becoming too convoluted and wordy for people to understand in the future. Obviously it’s a very ironic one to try and translate because the psuedo-language is an intentional part of the book, and all readers need to actually push themselves, but yeah.
Here in 60 years we’ll have supreme court justices who had to ask Claude to summarize the constitution because “In Suits at common law, where the value in controversy shall exceed twenty dollars, the right of trial by jury shall be preserved, and no fact tried by a jury, shall be otherwise re-examined in any Court of the United States, than according to the rules of the common law” is too convoluted and wordy
But those works were always excessively wordy. No one back then talked like that. Writing was seen as an art. Even letters back then were far more poetic than daily spoken word.
The problem is that we have now made it acceptable to say it is too difficult.

Did you miss a word?
Oops. fixed it.
I meant to say “made it acceptable to say it is too difficult.”
