By definition that is not true. Without any truths, everything is false, and communication is not possible. There are two questions at hand, is there an objective reality, if so.. is it accessible to our senses and can it be articulated with language? I feel neither of these is at stake with the advent of AGI. Having a machine that can think like a human means nothing to the question of objective reality or whether or not language is able to capture it.
> God is all-powerful, so God could make it that all religions on Earth are true simultaneously. If God were not all-powerful then God could not make it so. Where is then Truth?
I see this kind of objection to God a lot, and while this isn't necessarily a religious discussion, the problem here is that because God is an agent, asking God to do something contradictory doesn't prove or disprove anything. If God is all-powerful and all-knowing, he doesn't have to prove anything to anyone, and therefore there is no proof or disproof in the hypothetical. In other words, if God is all-powerful, not only could he make all religions true, he can also choose not to.
I think AGI is going to question our humanity, and it is understandable people are also questioning truth, however it is a separate question, and one that I bet even AGI will be grappling with.
