  How is it a false equivalence?

      It is not apples and oranges. Before people had libraries, they went to the elders for knowledge. It’s very probably that when that happened, some of the elders felt spite towards libraries, because they replaced their roles in society, or diminished them.

      Today, AI is doing the same for libraries, albeit with a few minor intermediary phases of the internet as a whole and global searching for information. You used to need to go to the library to read the biography of George Washington. Then someone invented wikipedia. Then someone invented an algorithm that can take sources from Wikipedia and other places and combine them into a coherent natural language response.

      So no, not apples and oranges at all, very much the same thing.

        No, entirely apples and oranges. Like not even close. If your argument was about encyclopedias vs Wikipedia then you would have a point.
