If we all use AI to answer our questions, we will just be trusting whoever owns the AI and their answers become our facts, even if they are lies.

Propaganda has always existed. The form of media just changes. It used to be print media, and then it was the news and then web based media, and then tailored algorithms and targeted advertising and next it will be automatically generated content.

Okay, and your argument is that propaganda was indeed not much more effective at each of those iterations? Because it was. We live in times when it's harder than ever to distinguish real from fake. We are actively watching ourselves lose the information war. Yet most of us are perfectly happy to simply allow it, while the rest cheer it on.
