I think that an AI-powered world will create a population that doesn't know how to distinguish truth from lies. People already believe that AI has some powerful hidden knowledge that they need to use, even when the AI model is spilling garbage. In the future, they will also be incapable to separate what AI models tell from reality.

This is currently happening with people googling their way onto pseudo-science webpages/ blogs and interpreting that that content as “fact”.
People already can hardly distinguish truth from lie. One Donald Trump lies constantly. Brexit referendum in UK was driven by a ton of lies, many people still believe them.
