Careful. Many people will claim that you think "wrong"...As in how dare you think critically about "authoritative" sources.
"Author" is also the root word of "authoritarian". "Authors" also create "narratives" to influence the hearts & minds of the audience, presumably for the benefit of the "author". And how does one become one of these "authors"?
Nonetheless, this sort of tech can also be used for "good", as in providing a resource of a variety of different good faith takes on a certain subject so the reader is empowered to understand that nuance of a subject from different perspectives. Since this tech will be used to empower the "authors", we might as well make tech that empowers the audience to move beyond being passive programmable consumers of information. Rather the audience can become the active "author" of their own lives, philosophy, & perspective.
