> Yeah, and I actually think that there can be some value in students being challenged to find some misinformation.

The future generations do not have the same background as we do. For them it is very difficult to teach what is "misinformation", or have a thinking model like that, unless we make them read proper books and compare the content for the output of the AI.

But if the AI is soon correct enough, they don't get it, and they don't feel it important, and they just take the output from AI as fact.

I agree with all that, and that's why I think we should still keep using traditional books for the foreseeable future. I think that AI can be a terrific supplement, particularly if the students are told to challenge it a bit.

I think that just like human teachers, it'll be impossible to completely solve the misinformation problem, but I do think it'll get asymptotically close to being solved.
