> If knowledge can be easily acquired in 5 seconds, why are you testing people on whether or not they have memorized it? If you don't know much, you don't even know the right questions to ask your AI assistant, or the right tasks to have it perform. You'll also be less-able to check, and to apply, its output. The more you know, the more you can get out of your assistant. At least so far, these tools are more like a bicycle than an internal combustion engine: they help almost anyone go faster and farther, but the people who are fit will still be able to go the fastest and farthest. Substitute "knowing stuff" for "fitness" and that's what we're looking at with "AI" (again, so far—if we achieve actual AGI so a huge set of complex tasks don't need a human involved at all, that may be another matter) That's why people still need to know stuff they could find out in five seconds.
