I think humans are funny.

If we don't have fake news, we can't have real news.

If we do something to protect real news, then we'd be sure (based on our own fake news assumptions) that protection would definitely be lying to us.

Ironic how like, we're incapable of believing the truth, so long as there is a chance the thing telling us the truth is capable of manipulation.

Like, you could have a flawless AI that would never lie, do all the news.

But we would never believe it, because we'd be positive that it was telling us the news it wants us to hear, and hiding the rest.


-- Now extrapolate that to entropy.

You can't have happiness without sadness.

You can't have good without bad.

You can't have rich without poor.

You can't have bravery, without fear.

You can't have energy, without entropy.

Just like every law in the universe, you can't have the good only.

The reaction to the printing press was exactly the same as the reaction to AI.

Funny. Maybe they both are invented by the devil!

A printing press challenged the wealthy so they were not the only keepers of knowledge. Hand written books were expensive and rare.

A.I can and will be used (trained) to manipulate data.

Those are two very different things.

No. Fools were afraid of technology then, and fools are afraid of it now too.
