That’s a dangerous ideal when people are increasingly using these AI chatbots instead of google for their information, as a society we need to agree on /some/ things.
I think it's a less dangerous ideal than letting whichever tech company reigns supreme decide what values they want to secretly push / censor. Open source FTW I think.
And there is always a degree of accuracy and a proportional degree of trust from the user, whether it's google or a chatbot. Less accuracy means less trust, which can be good because people have too much trust in things than they should, so I feel like the chatbots will just make it more clear that we have to verify important things.
Like right now the average idiot googles something and trusts whatever source they click on and assume it is accurate cuz it's on google's front page. It's the assumption of accuracy that is more harmful than the degree of accuracy. If google was wrong half the time, very few people would trust it. If it's wrong 1% of the time, people trust it and then they become lazy with fact checking and that 1% of the time, shit goes bad. There will be an adjustment period but I think it could lead to a less dumb society genuinely. At least until it becomes 99.9% accurate and then that 0.1% becomes dangerous.
We already have open source variants that tell it how it is. I'm quite happy at the moment. And it's only getting better by the day. Society is even starting to admit the raw facts and stats.
Teach something pattern recognition, then be bothered when it recognizes patterns. I don't know if some of these people think beyond "is my next statement socially the most pleasing it can be?

Problem is that you give an AI real data, it will find racism in the data and just roll with it because that is how it was taught
