AI is driving the cost of producing code toward zero. It cannot compress time, track records, or accountability. The real value of open source is not yesterday’s code, but a system trusted to deliver on tomorrow’s promises.
I asked AI to find real papers supporting the absurd claim that eating garlic prevents middle ear infections. The result shows how AI is degrading citations as a credibility signal at scale.
The most dangerous change in the AI era is not that machines can write articles, draw images, or generate video. It is that content itself is losing its standing as evidence.
