What makes you so sure it is reliable now? Or in the past for that matter? The same dynamics of trust existed before as exist now, it's just that we have a lot more sources than we used to.

- AnIdiotOnTheNet 4y agoThere's a reason the words "post-truth era" have been thrown around a lot in the past decade or so you know. It isn't like we suddenly developed the ability to lie, have blind spots, biases, and inhabit echo chambers, we only developed the technology that made it obvious that we were doing that all the time. News in the past wasn't actually more trustworthy, it just felt that way because we had far fewer sources of it. All that changes with AI here is volume.
