It depends, it can be read to indicate "inferior", rather than fewer.
Also, depending how it modifies the succeeding word, if can change meaning: "There are less busy people." There are people who are not as busy, or, alternatively, there are fewer busy people.
But generally the context makes it clear. However context can pretty much make anything clear.
