lots of replies to this post saying things like:
"who cares?"
"i don't worry about boys"
"boys and men are falling behind? good."
and then we wonder, "why are boys and men shifting to being more misogynistic and right-wing in their beliefs?"
makes me sad. this is not a zero sum game.

Trump: "When you say strollers are going up -- what kind of a thing? I'm saying that gasoline is going down. Gasoline is thousands of times more important than a stroller someplace ... you don't need to have 35 dolls. You can have 2, 3, 4, and save a lot of money. We don't need to feed the beast."

The fundamental issue with AI, at least in my opinion, is that LLMs can't discern truth from fiction.
Sure, they could add guards or algorithms that weight the score of information from sources, but it's still, at best, scraping information written by a human and isn't making a value judgement.
