People act like the truth is gone with AI. Its still there. Don’t ask chatgpt about the function. The documentation is still there for you to read. Experts need the ground truth and its always there. What people read in the paper or see on tv is not a great source of truth. Going to the sources of these articles and reports is, but this layer of abstraction serves to leave things out and bring about opportunities to slant the coverage depending on how incentives are aligned. In other words, ai doesn’t change how misinformed most people are on most things.
SNR. The truth isn't gone, but it is more diffuse. Yea, the truth may be out there somewhere, but will you have any idea if you're actually reading it? Is the search engine actually leading you to the ground truth? Is the expert and actual expert, or part of a for profit industry think tank with the sole purpose to manipulate you? Are the sources the actual source, or just an AI hallucinated day dream sophisticated linked by a lot of different sites giving the appearance of authority.
