Completely agree with the author of the article; the excess of screens added to the rise of generative AI is leading to a generation without critical thinking. For some time, I have been discussing with my family and friends about the resurgence of encyclopedias, reliable sources of information commonly accepted by everyone.

But people don't understand what I'm talking about; they are so used to the pre-digested information from traditional media that they don't question how much truth there is in a news story. The funny thing about this is that a couple of years ago I contacted a very prestigious publisher in my country to ask for information on how to get their encyclopedia, and well, the salesperson almost treated me like I was crazy.

Anyway, let's see what this new rise of AI brings, and I'll keep trying to find an encyclopedia XD.
