    The danger is that not everyone has enough critical thinking skills to question the correctness of an answer

    I brought this up to my mom who responded with “yeah, but there’s a lot of incorrect information online anyway.” This is true, but AI strips away 100% of the context for that information, and if the AI people have their way, there will be no other portal online with which to get a second opinion.

      “yeah, but there’s a lot of incorrect information online anyway.”

      Here’s the thing: before AI, most information came from an author or organization, who had to stake their reputation on the content they create. If the information they provided was false, low quality, misleading, etc… they paid a penalty for it in a loss of credibility (and even income).

      But with AI, that doesn’t happen. You can generate 1000 articles at the click of a button, post it everywhere, and there’s no backlash because the author doesn’t exist.

      I think in the near future, you’ll start to see certification for human-generated content. I know that movies have started to disclose whether AI generated content was used or not, so the trend is that people want to know.
