In 2026 you still need expert knowledge to be able to judge whether it’s actually generating statements that match reality or just happen to take on a truthy shape.
Web search went from being the most powerful tool in acquiring knowledge to being mostly useless, a crapshoot, because of the difficulty in discerning which articles are useful versus which ones just take on a useful shape.
Interesting… pair this with current state of reading comprehension in the North America education system… things are gonna be fuuuuucked.
