Choosing the Truth

I represent the Google generation. In the Google generation, you entered your query—whatever it may have been—and a search engine provided you with a list of links related to your question, some of which led to false information.

After a little study, you could choose an answer.

The next generation is being nurtured by Artificial Intelligence. With AI, a query to the mysterious blue tubes—thanks to bots, easily accessible memes, and manipulated sources—usually delivers a single, sometimes false, answer.

Those controlling the information inputs control the outputs.

New question: Are we losing the ability to choose the truth?
