  >Maybe I'll go ask the AI

I never know if, when people say this, they mean

  Maybe I'll go ask the AI oracle, it's only slightly fallible

Or

  Maybe I'll go poke an ML model a few different ways to see if it emits interesting word sequences, that I'll then fact-check and study to develop real, deep knowledge.

I'm actually optimistic we can increase the second one, but it requires everyone to help educate our less-technical friends, family, and colleagues.

This isn't new. It's the same person who used to say "but Google said...!" This is a solvable education problem, because we've solved it before.

If it had been solved before we would not be in the predicament we are now, i.e. people might be able to learn but that doesn't mean everyone does. In fact, most do not because we are too busy figuring out how to die leading less fulfilling, more angst-ridden lives.

When its such for my personal edification and idle wonderings, usually the former. If its something that is any way critical to a meaningful decision or something I'm going to publicly share, its the latter.
