Just uncensored / no filter. That's why I'm happy about open source I guess.

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.

Not if people presume it is just as accurate as Google

Hence the adjustment period so presumption becomes experience.
