It makes sense that we’re getting lazier with our internal fact-checking, tbh. If an AI gives you a confident-sounding answer, it’s easy to just stop digging. The real issue is that we’re outsourcing the cognitive heavy lifting to a black box that can hallucinate. Are we losing the ability to spot a bad source when we rely on the bot to do it for us?
I worry that if we don’t actively practice skepticism, we’ll just become better at consuming misinformation instead of evaluating it. It’s kinda like using a GPS—you stop learning the map after a while. We need to treat AI as a secondary assistant, not the final word.
