PC<p>All the handwringing over
<a href="https://mas.to/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> is like early <a href="https://mas.to/tags/Wikipedia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Wikipedia</span></a>.<br>
In the late 90s, Wikipedia for information was considered completely <a href="https://mas.to/tags/unreliable" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>unreliable</span></a>, <a href="https://mas.to/tags/unorthodox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>unorthodox</span></a>, and <a href="https://mas.to/tags/unacceptable" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>unacceptable</span></a>. <br>
Now I find things in Wikipedia that are far beyond anything ever in <a href="https://mas.to/tags/EncyclopediaBritannica" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EncyclopediaBritannica</span></a>. The <a href="https://mas.to/tags/dataquality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>dataquality</span></a> and <a href="https://mas.to/tags/utility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>utility</span></a> are high. I read it as a starting point, and then I read <a href="https://mas.to/tags/sourcematerial" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sourcematerial</span></a> when I need more detail.<br>
What AI doesn’t provide YET is <a href="https://mas.to/tags/references" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>references</span></a> to its content. AI simply needs a good <a href="https://mas.to/tags/editor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>editor</span></a>.</p>
