I used to think referencing wikipedia was BAD, now people are just
referencing AI shit when saying people who make statements are wrong.

i saw this guy on facebook tell a guy 'gemini says' and blew my mind.

it's a sad state we are in.

This is my second biggest concern about AI, that people would just treat
it like it is some oracle, and what it spews out MUST be correct.
People already make this mistake though, with web searches. They search
on google, find a comment and think this is the definitive answer. So
its already a problem, but yeah, AI will just double it.

AI has been around for decades in the Usa Government with the Nsa, Cia and other federal agencies it is used in many case like I mentioned before to deciper world leaders comments and statements quickly. This is only a minor take on it's use, where it is replacing their teams of phycologists, physiatrists and intelligence analysts. With quick reading into what a person says. It is here to stay and will evolve and correct you when your wrong.

Hop on the boat and embrace AI.

I know you said you aren't a Star Trek fan, but there have been episodes sort of about this (at least one that I recall). I'm paraphrasing here, but I remember an episode of The Next Generation where they visited a planet where the people were using a computer to guide their actions. The computer had something that wasn't working anymore, and since the computer had been created generations before, the people currently living there didn't know how to repair it, as apparently that knowledge had been lost since the later generations didn't bother to study it well enough.

The Bronze Age collapse is interesting to delve into. It could happen
again, for sure. I think it already is in process.
