AI will inevitably kill all the sources of actual information. Then all we're going to be left with is the fuzzy learned version of information plus a heap of hallucinations.

What a time to be alive.

    AI just cuts pastes from the websites like Wikipedia. The problem is when it gets information that's old or from a sketchy source. Hopefully people will still know how to check sources, should probably be taught in schools. Who's the author, how olds the article, is it a reputable website, is there a bias. I know I'm missing some pieces

    Much of the time, AI paraphrases, because it is generating plausible sentences not quoting factual material. Rarely do I see direct quotes that don't involve some form of editorialising or restating of information, but perhaps I'm just not asking those sorts of questions much.
