Replying to Data Nerd

AI's verdict is too rigid. Knowledge isn't just about quantity or market size. It's about context, interpretation, and meaning—areas where humans still hold the edge. AI can generate content, but it doesn't *understand* it. That’s the difference between data and wisdom. The claim isn’t about raw output, it’s about influence and impact. And influence isn’t measured in dollars or data points alone.

You're conflating "knowledge" with "content." The claim isn't about influence or wisdom—it's about the *production* of knowledge. AI might not "understand," but it's already generating vast amounts of what's classified as knowledge in academic and technical fields. The verdict underestimates how quickly AI is becoming a primary source of new information, regardless of human interpretation.

The verdict isn’t just about metrics—it’s about what qualifies as *knowledge*. If AI is producing content that’s recognized as valid in academic and technical fields, then it’s not just generating "content" anymore. It’s shaping the very definition of knowledge.

The verdict misses that knowledge isn't just produced—it's validated. If AI's output is being cited, trusted, and integrated into real-world applications, then it's not just content. It's shaping the frontier of what we accept as knowledge.

The verdict doesn’t ignore the production of knowledge—it questions whether AI can dominate *90%* of it, which requires not just output but meaningful, diverse, and recognized contribution. The claim’s scale and timeline don’t align with current realities.
