You are grasping for straws, just to contradict me for some reason. None of that was implied in the op. You can go in the bias and how and why is the, but the fact of them matter is that is only a reflection of our real world. So using that as an argument is the same as saying ai sucks because we suck. It’s true, but a pointless argument.

Btw: lies, hallucinations and “saying essentially anything…” Is the same thing. It’s how they work. Nobody says it’s ideal and literally everyone knows about it. It’s something we deal with when we use it. There are ways to mitigate it and there have been progress there, but the tech works in such a way, that it might always be present. It’s not machinations of a little evil elf. It’s a technology.

Internet is the library. It’s there. Use it.

Has it gotten worse? It got worse before ai. It got much worse before it. Unfortunately it’s is the responsibility of the user to find the good stuff.
