>In other words, correctness, truth, cohesiveness, completeness, comprehension, etc are all essentially patterns that are mapped in this space.

The caveat is that truth in latent space is just a reflection of the consensus from the corpus, and you find truth by comparing the answer in latent space to what is in reality.

But I just hate this idea that truth and facts are no longer real, they're just "directions". The more we rely on these models for our lives, the more we lose touch with reality and are pushed and pulled in all these different directions. Feels like the future is just ai psychosis and there's no way out. Is that what complete agi victory looks like?

There's another way to look at this which is just as pernicious, and you've already mentioned it. That's the idea that "truth" is the consensus of the training data. Even if you include several layers of meta-training-data (i.e training data that comments on the accuracy/truthfulness of other training data), this idea that we can get truth by just carrying out some aggregate operation across (everything|a lot of stuff) seems completely obviously false to me.

Indeed how do we break free from the tyranny of group think?

I think virtual reality and AI are a prelude to humanity living in Hong Kong style coffin apartments, and things will get progressively worse until we're in Matrix pods.
