The article started really well, and I was looking forward to the empirical argument.

Truly mind-boggling times where "here is the empirical proof" means "here is what chatGPT says" to some people.

its Vitalik what do you expect? Do you think Bernie Madoff was speaking objectively when talking to his potential clients?
VB is a genius, no sweat (are you familiar with his work?). Madoff isn't in the same league at all, and it's disingenuous to imply otherwise.
Better than "according to Google" (pre ai) which I saw cited too many times.

I have a feeling that people who have such absolute trust in AI models have never hit regen and seen how much truth can vary.

In no way is it better than "according to Google".
Maybe when google actually did searches. A coworker today was unable to find a very straightforward quoted text on google, on duckduckgo the first few hits were exactly what we were looking for.
