This sound awfully familiar, like almost exactly what people were saying about Wikipedia 20 years ago...
Pretty weak analogy. Wikipedia was technologically trivial and did a really good job of avoiding vested interests. Also the hype is orders of magnitude different, noone ever claimed Wikipedia was going to lead to superhuman intelligences or to replacement of swathes of human creative/service workers.
Actually since you mention it, my hot take is that Wikipedia might have been a more significant step forward in AI than openAI/latest generation LLMs. The creation of that corpus is hugely valuable in training and benchmarking models of natural language. Also it actually disrupted an industry (conventional encyclopedias) in a way that I'm struggling to think of anything that LLMs has replaced in the same way thus far.
Those people were wrong because wikipedia requires actual citations from credible sources, not comedic subreddits and infowars. Wikipedia is also completely open about the information being summarized, both in who is presenting it and where someone can confirm it is accurate.
AI is a presented to the user as a black box and tries to be portray it as equivalent to human with terms like 'hallucinations' which really mean 'is wrong a bunch, lol'.
