I can't see it happening tbh, but like the USA government discussed putting restriction on AI development, I think OpenAI or some other companies asked them to do so!? And there were short/reels of high profile developers hyping out the fact that "we don't know what we're doing", and one of them quit his job. So why is all that hype? Is the "Matrix" route actually a possible future ?

Of late, my biggest concern is certain parties feeding LLMs with a different version of history.

Search has become so shit of late that LLMs are often the better path to answering a question. But as everyone knows they are only as good as what they’ve been trained on.

Do we, as a society, move past basic search to a preference for AI to answer our questions? If we do, how do we ensure that the history they feed the models is accurate?

This is absolutely one of the reasons they're pushing this garbage so hard. It's VERY easy to manipulate as a propaganda tool.

You can already see that most of these tools lean right because their userbase does - leftists don't touch this garbage because of numerous ethical concerns as-is. Add more astroturfing on top of that, and now it's just a straight up automated fascist mouthpiece.
