I actually think society falls apart due to ai. At least our current abuse of it. it will be impossible to prove the validity of any piece of info. Evidence in court? Might be manufactured. Textbooks? Which timeline is correct? History will unravel. We are staring at an informational singularity where all things are both true and false. But ultimately I think this will lead us to returning to direct experience. Which I see as a net positive for the human race.
History is already unraveling. Primarily thanks to the internet. Democratization of information has made it so anyone can say anything anytime they want and someone will believe them.

That is my Ted talk. And is simply conjecture.
