Yeah it’s just escalating the issue due to its universal availability. It’s being used in lieu of Google by many people, who blindly trust whatever it spits out.

If it had a high technological floor of entry, it wouldn’t be as influential to the general public as it is.

It's such a double edged sword though, Google is a good example, I became a netizen at a very young age and learned how to properly search for information over time.

Unfortunately the vast majority of the population over the last two decades have not put in that effort, and it shows lol.

Fundamentally, I do not believe in arbitrarily deciding who can and can not have access to information though.
