You’re exactly right. The effort proposed in the article overlooks the fact that people silo themselves into information bubbles via the media sources they choose, making the world today into a “choose your own reality” type of situation. The fox News or OAN viewer isn’t going to suddenly look to other sources, and even social media sources provide an echo chamber to most. Eventually, the fantasy worldviews will bump up against cold, hard reality, but by then most of the damage will be done.
Your argument doesn’t agree with my preconceived opinion that supports my self-centered world view, so I’m going to ignore it and look for another comment that does and upvote that one.
I think you should be more concerned that their argument is just a chatgpt generated reply scraped from the article, it even starts with the traditional LLM glazing
The biggest challenge with this is that those who will need to see the information will ignore it, or simply continue to disbelieve.
