Comment on Is "AI" the end of truth?

At the very least, it’s one I’ve never heard before.

it has to be the definition though. human understanding is limited, therefore what we believe is fact, can theoretically be ‘wrong’ and disproven in the future by new advancements in science. so ‘truth’ is just belief in fact.

The common definition of Truth is along the lines of “That which matches reality”.
It doesn’t matter what’s popular, or common knowledge. Sure humanity learns more about reality as time goes on. What people believe to be true changes. But that doesn’t mean what we believe is true. Something doesn’t become true because enough people believe it. Peoples beliefs simply get closer to the truth as more is learned about reality.

whos to define reality? was it not truth that the sun orbited the earth? reality is also the most popular theory. string theory could be truth. president names in epstein files could be truth. if someone doctors the list before it hits the courts, and its voted on as true, it becomes truth to society while not matching reality.
i think we are circling the same idea from different angles. kinda fun, thanks for the critical thinking sparring.
