You are not wrong that AI is a whole new level of misinformation. But trusting the science never was a “trust any published paper” it is about trusting scientific consensus. And yeah, if there is a scientific consensus based on multiple papers and peer reviews, it is almost certainly going to be more trustworthy than your opinion/online search/intuition
Trust the science is still true, even in the face of AI, you just need to differentiate between trust scientists and trust scientific consensus.
I’m not saying that other middle eastern countries are better, but you are delusional if you think that israel isn’t a far right near-dictatorship that is committing a genocide that is only barely stopped by the world and the left people in Israel.
