> (AI) doesn't have the concept of correctness/truth

They kind of do, and it's getting better every day. We already have huge swatches of verifiable facts available to them to ground their statements in truth. They started building Cyc in 1984, and Wikipedia just signed deals with all the major players.

The problem you're describing isn't intractable, so it's fairly certain that someone will solve it soon. Most of the brightest minds in society are working on AI in some form now. It's starting to sound trite, but today's AI's really are the worst that AI will ever be.

Source? I haven’t met one intelligent person working on AI. The smartest people are being ground into dust. They’re being replaced by pompous overconfident people such as yourself.

I get the impression that you don't meet a lot of people in general.
