I really disagree with this perspective. In history the democratization of books with the printing press, the entertainment & education industry with YouTube and MOOCs, and now whatever this next movement is with ChatGPT. Let's just face it, it's useless to predict how innovation will impact the future society, but you can always choose to find its most productive uses for it yourself in the meantime. Stop trying to brute force your outdated perspective on how disruptive innovations will impact other people. Unless you have a sample size of the entire ChatGPT audience, or the entire internet, you're going to have a rough time.

In theory knowledge is more democratized but so is misinformation. Ignore the Big Issue from the last two years and see how tide pod challenges have improved society. /s
