I think it's still unclear as to what the impact will be. Processing more information more quickly is a benefit. But, I think there will be hidden costs that will surface in the future. Reading comprehension, critical thinking, and synthesis are skills that need to be honed or they are lost.

And, being presented with information that is collected and filtered by opaque algorithms with big tech biases will lead to consensus thinking over truth and is prone to mass manipulation. Seeing the world through that lens is not good for the world.
