Hear, hear. We had the entirety of human knowledge available online for decades now. Are people more educated? Nah, cos most people aren't interested in looking for much beyond validation.

Perhaps me finding your comment and replying has similarities but at least this is validation of curiosity.

I love llms cos history isnt typically indexed by the sort of questions i wanna ask but an llm can cut a wide array of sources by an arbitrary metric and i can keep poking for more and more.

I see a wikipedia parallel. There's peeps among us that will 2am doom scroll wikipedia, peeps that will only do that same on social media and peeps who do a bit of both.
