Well, unlike you, experts are worried. Consider how knowledge is gathered, stored, and disseminated. AI interferes with each of these steps in dramatic ways.

    Fortunately I have media literacy and know that the existence of someone marketing a scary narrative doesn't actually provide any credibility. I can read scary headlines and pass it through the "does the make sense?" filter before getting worried.

    I agree the friction + manipulation that LLMs introduce is troubling, but "knowledge collapse" is the extreme end of that concern.
