To be frank, the quality of the "Experts" I've seen interviewed in these past two years alone spitting at best biased disinformation you can't really blame people for realizing how easily information can be manipulated. It's just too simple nowadays to find counter-proof "verified" examples of almost anything, including medical literature.

What should happen is for education institutions to step in and aid some sort of analytical and critical thinking from the young age, to learn the ability to fetch information safely

And what I mean about that is safe information isn't books=good, internet=bad. There's disinformation literature still to this day passed as institutional axioms.

Musk and Twitter is a really simple recent example of why this won't be possible, because asymmetrical information is power.

Fully agreed. My fear is that Ai will be given this task of ‘critical thinking’ and we’ll be back right where we started.
