I think having a look at the current political climate answers this by itself.

Knowledge has lost much value, and anecdotal reasoning is at pre-education system levels.

Intelligence are declining in all ages [1]. And now top that with hallucinating AI:s that people without contextual knowledge can't even spot when they are making things up.

We're in for a good ride.
