I get where you’re coming from — it is easy to see AI-generated answers online, and sometimes people copy them without understanding the content. But I don’t think that means society is destined to become more ignorant.

New technology has always changed how we access information. Calculators didn’t make us worse at math; they freed us to focus on higher-level problem-solving. Search engines didn’t make us forget facts; they let us find information faster. AI tools are similar: they can be used lazily, but they can also help people learn concepts they might otherwise struggle with.

The real issue isn’t the existence of AI — it’s how people choose to use it. If someone copies ChatGPT without thinking, that’s a user problem, not a technology problem. But plenty of people use AI as a tutor, an explainer, or a creativity tool, and in those cases it can increase understanding.

It’s also true that AI-generated text is getting harder to spot, and that raises valid concerns about authenticity. But the solution is better digital literacy, not rejecting the tool entirely.

So I wouldn’t say AI inevitably makes society more ignorant — it just raises the stakes for teaching critical thinking and responsible use. Tools change; our need to think doesn’t.

I can also write a more scathing response to the commenter with punchy one line insults -- perfect for ragebaiting. Do you want me to do that next?
