Thankfully it's nice to know that someone knows how important encyclopedias are and how much prior knowledge is taken for granted as the basis for a functioning society. Consumerism has become so accustomed to acquiring new goods and ideas that it is almost losing its ability to retain the very knowledge of intelligible information-sifting capability. People are not able to think critically to pass down the value of doing so, to tell whether a flood of AI non-sense is real, and no longer knows what to think, because the new products aren't encouraging that at all. I have read that AI is creating a selective pressure, but there's so much a human can do against millions of bots.
