Well said, and Elon has already warned us of the dangers of AI... It's too easy to "look something up" with AI and then somehow automatically believe it over previous truth and already known historical facts... Fact checking today in so many ways is a false intellectual exercise designed to distort and misrepresent what genuine scholars already know to be true and honest... AI must be taken with a large grain of salt and considered dubious at best... There nothing like good old fashioned legitimate and credible scholarly research and study derived from the primary and original sources than to reply on modern day gimmicks generally designed to deceive... The evolution of this kind of false academic study has led to our current decline in academic achievement... Today, many 6th grade students don't know how to read and so many college graduates have learned nothing credible... GZ

After thinking overnight about how people "fact check" I realize that so many people try to verify what they read or hear by using secondary and further removed untrustworthy sources for their so called fact checking... As a result of their wasted efforts they begin to believe as factual what someone programed that secondary or further removed source to tell everyone no matter how untrue it may be... If someone really wants to fact check then they MUST go to the primary sources directly... The problem people today have is that going to the primary sources directly is just "too much effort" and so people take the more convenient, effortless, and lazy way out... Out of simply not grasping the error and the folly of using non primary sources or out of basic intellectual laziness or possibly a lack of genuine personal ambition most fact checking results in discrediting the true and actual facts themselves... As a tragic result, people begin to believe untrustworthy secondary sources as fact itself... Those untrustworthy secondary sources don't have to be honest, they only have to be louder and more convenience in order to degrade and dishonor true and honest historical information... This is the warning about using AI for anything... AI doesn't have to be honest, it only has to be louder and more convenient... AI will continue to become the false authority as social laziness becomes the norm... AI will never be a match for ignorance and/or natural stupidity... GZ
