Really narrow view of knowledge.

The danger of catapulting an entire generation into ai-fed answers isn't the amount or quality of knowledge, it's training people to ask and NOT verify, a pillar of attaining wisdom and true expertise.

    Yes but that's a completely different issue than the one the article describes.

    You keep saying that and it's not true.

    Knowledge collapse due to AI feeding everyone the same answer without people having to do real research, aka comparing sources, will absolutely happen.

    It's like people can't see data and extrapolate anymore.

    Can you not see the numerous ways that funneling all information through a single source like AI is a terrible idea?

    Hell off the top of my head, the consolidation of information to AI would easily let whatever company/govt that's in charge change a narrative on a scale humanity has rarely or never seen.
