Maybe so, but think about it, a common tech business model is to give some service away for free and then monitize it somehow. The promise of the internet was to provide access to knowledge for everyone through a distributed system composed of a wide variety of independent sources. We are responsible for evaluating all this information to find what is rational, reasonable, and pertinent to our needs.
We abdicate our responsibilities by allowing a software service like AI to do it all for us. If we no longer search for ourselves then the distributed system and variety of sources slowly fade away. Leaving what? Tech overlords and their data centers become the only source. Bingo, this is the trillions of dollars they pursue for the billions of dollars they’re investing. And what do we get? Lazy and screwed.
