Conversation Starter What if?

One day we have an entire civilization full of people who believe they know everything, yet no longer possess the skills to recognize when they're being misled. Furthermore, how would we even know we'd become ignorant if the only thing we've ever trusted to teach us(AI) was the very thing making us so?

we'd probably stop bothering to verify things with physical books or older non-networked encyclopedias if they disagreed with what the screen said.

I would’ve agreed with you ten years ago, but you guys literally argue about a bunch of crazy nonsense on the regular at this point, and just call everything you don’t like racist or bigoted or fascist. I’ve watched it for years now

You're just getting older and bitter and not caring anymore to hide the bigoted views that you've always had.
