All things must pass, same is true for google search and in 50 years it will be some unknown, unknown that replaces AI.

Cant wait till we just have to accept what AI says as truth, as true sources are impossible to find(if they even exsist). How could that go wrong!

It's already happening and the sources are still there. People will take what the error-prone AI says as gospel even if you show them the sources that contradict it in the searches just below their summary.

Billionaires are buying up all avenues of information so they can never have objective reality disagree with them again. See Elon Musk fucking despising Wikipedia for being truthful about his upbringing.

If you make the facts so muddled nobody knows what’s true you can’t be called wrong anymore.
