Internet contains the whole knowledge of humanity.... the other 98% are influencers, ChatGPT posts, memes, cat photos, fake news, bots and flat earthers.
I thought Interned contained mostly porn :D
And cat pics.
Similar to memes
Very wise
There is so incredibly much knowledge that isn't on the internet.
I often share the story how (as the story concludes)
... I would not have so successfully done so had I not had the library card.
... And that was back when the internet was more like a library than like TV. And long before the big corporate search engines censored about 99% of the results, like they increasingly did over the past decade.
Do not over estimate the wealth of knowledge the internet has (even with LLMs now). Blind biases lurk. We do not know what we do not know, nor how much more there is to know. Easy to fall into arrogance. And what is arrogance really, but ignorance of our ignorance.
We are all ignorant, no one knows everything about everything, but ignorance becomes a problem when we do not know the difference between what needs to be contrasted and what does not.
