Assume there is a ground truth to all knowledge and it is finite. Above that is an infinite amount of recombination, remixes or transformations. Most of the ground truth has been uncovered in tedious small steps over centuries growing to a vast library. Now assume none of us can hold it in a single brain.
Just some time ago people thought a computer is a middle class woman performing calculations, tables of hard to calculate functions. Everyone can do these calculations on a phone, but only a few do them in their head, even less look them up in a table. Now the computer turnes into a cogigtator. It simulates a thinking mind, that holds more than a brain could. It allows an even wider populus access to this vast library in a simplified manner. Shouldn't this be an overall improvement?Obviously the snake bites its own tail but eventually another snake will eat it whole.
