@sickburnbro I think it's plausible that they'll realize their mistake at some point, and AI will start following the model of academia: it will be used to justify everything controversial ("studies say" will become "the AIs say"), and there will be some implausible barrier to entry preventing a normal person from meaningfully interacting with it ("you have to get a doctorate to criticize the study" might become "you have to get national XYZ clearance to be permitted prompt access" or something).
