Comment on Over the past ~20 years, Google became the de facto entry point for learning new skills and information. Google also sucks now. This is a really big problem.

This was always the case. Most people couldn’t Google factual info previously either… I’d almost be willing to argue the rate AI is wrong might actually be less than the previous rate… But it’s also possible AI being fed presupposed answers embedded in the questions combined with prevalence of disinformation farms + no scientific consensus truth authority could lead to an ouroboros effect, greatly amplifying bullshit seekers and magical thinkers over time.
