We are already headed to this point but just imagine: In the future you get some answer from AI and you want to see if it's true. Where would you check? Ask another AI or the same AI if it's right? I can just see a potential future where AI could pretty much tell us anything and we would have way to know if it's right or not.

We already have libraries, for those who seek factual information and are willing to do some reading and thinking for themselves.

at least in the USA based on my discussions with librarians ( yes I am that kind of nerd ) libraries are under attack by the federal government, they are losing their funding or having their funding severely limited where they won't be able to operate as effectively. What I think people don't realize is we are in a phase where knowledge is being centralized and put into control of a few powerful companies and the commons is under attack and being eroded.

Also true. Fortunately, piracy helps quite a bit in this circumstance when you need textbooks or academic papers and have no other options
