Nah, probably just watch a youtube video recommended on his youtube timeline by...AI. Maybe fact check with some tweets on X or instagram posts if he's feeling very serious. I may sound sarcastic, but I assure you the vast majority of people do this kind of 'research' and truly think they know medical conditions better than their GP, understand world events better than the 'biased' mainstream journalists and even think they outperform 99% of scientists, climate or whatever. It is not limited to truly stupid people too. Just try and listen to, lets say Jordan Peterson talk on climate science, and you know he gets his (mis)information on facebook. You would fail a high schooler on any test displaying this level of misunderstanding physics. A bit of a rant, but this is the world we are in. I don't think we can fix it with old fashioned journalism. Too boring. So we need to, somehow, fix social media and 'AI' itself.
