It's still the information age - no promises were made about the veracity of that information. >

The veracity of information is accelerating in a direction. >

What we're witnessing is in direct consequences to that time our teachers told us not to use wikipedia >

mhm. Media literacy is an algorithm, not a list of acceptable sources and unacceptable sources.
I remember being taught that in middle school history, primary vs secondary vs tertiary sources, etc. And then the same teachers saying "don't use Wikipedia!"
I'm not a teacher, but I believe their intent was to force students to learn how to use libraries and encyclopedias instead of an internet search engine, it wasn't just "wiki bad". The first is still a valuable skill, but so was/is the second.
Oh well, here we are, with a bunch of people who'd be helped by learning how to google some shit now and then. >

We went from "Don't believe everything you read on the Internet" to "This article on RealFreedomPatriot.net PROVES COVID vaccine turns us into slaves of our reptilian overlords!" >


We went from "Don't believe everything you read on the Internet" to

It's more like: we went from "don't believe everything you read on the internet" to "This is true. Source: Me, I'm a doctor." People say this crap all the time on Reddit and they receive hundreds and thousands of upvotes.
Amazing how quickly people now believe any random idiot on the internet. >

What's your sources though? >

Source: Me. I'm a Reddit scientist. >

I believe you, random idiot. >

I read somewhere that this age is starting to be thought of as a new dark age, except instead of a lack of access to knowledge from the past we are instead flooded with so much information that it achieves the same result. The core problem being that we have structured society to allow for such specialized knowledge that it becomes impossible for a common person to really, truly know if some information being given to them by a highly specialized doctor in a scientific field is true and the time required to verify everything you hear is not possible to give up. So there’s a glut of scientific research with often inflammatory, purposely contradictory bylines vying for your attention in fields you have no knowledge about and mixed in are snake oil salesmen publishing studies funded by agencies with their own agendas. It’s making us fatigued, distrustful, ignorant and very tribal in an economic system that is increasingly feudal. >

The only way out is going to be an AI 'angel' as imagined by the late great George Alec Effinger. 
Unfortunately, this will divide us into classes by AI type. At the top will be free agents with personalised AI. Below them will be people using minder AIs on contract from Google and facebook. They will be vulnerable to whatever bs their AI leaves them deliberately open to. Then you will have everyone too poor or angry to use AI. At the bottom of the scale people won't know what food or roads are safe this week, let alone how to vote. 
Imo the real driving force behind this nightmare will be the middle claases continuing to accept corporate AI, and not buying into personalised. The resulting pricing will keep personal AI expensive and well outside the reach of the lower end.
