    My hope is that the ai bubble/trend might have a silver lining overall.

    I’m hoping that people start realizing that it is often confidently incorrect. That while it makes some tasks faster, a person will still need to vet the answers.

    Here’s the stretch. My hope is that by questioning and researching to verify the answers ai is giving them, people start applying this same skepticism to their daily lives to help filter out all the noise and false information that is getting shoved down their throats every minute of every day.

    So that the populace in general can become more resistant to the propaganda. AI would effectively be a vaccine to boost our herd immunity to BS.

    Like I said. It’s a hope.

      People literally believe what a TV anchor or online podcaster tell them with zero doubt. I fear your hopes are misplaced.

      I’m still rooting for humanity, maybe we get get lucky with the right people seizing power and turn it around to the 1% of good timelines, but I don’t exactly feel so good right now.
