The internet did get rid of ETI theories of UFOs and probably facts. Now we have Wikipedia and ubiquitous cameras.

Instead we have WTF is THAT UFOs called UAP, and singing abandoned buildings, but no ghosts.

Part of the problem now is fake news and we're about to lose video authentication the first time someone makes a convincing AI-generated street incident.

The fake news honestly frightens me. Lord knows what will happen because of it but there's many truly terrible possibilities
