- eropple 9y agoOK. And? Is the point to be perfect, or is the point to be useful? False fakes--and a wisely designed system would probably say "probably fake" in the first place, not outright "fake"--are less damaging than false truths overall.

That depends on what your goal is: to discover groundbreaking truths (which are almost always considered taboo/false at first) in order to improve society, or merely attempt to cover up apparent falsehoods as damage control. In the latter case, such a system would be highly prone to enforcing the prexisting biases and prejudices of its developers onto the users, making it much more difficult for them to discover truths that the developers are ignorant of.
