I was speaking with a librarian who teaches college students how to use AI effectively. They said that most students by default trust what AI says. It got me wondering if a shift in people's trust of what they read online is in part to blame for people believing so many conspiracy theories now? When I was in college the internet was still new, and the prevailing thought was trust nothing you read on the internet. I feel like those of us from that generation (college in the 90s) are still the most skeptical of what we read. I wonder when the shift happened though.
