Truth in the Age of AI

In the 2020s, developments in physics, cognitive science, and information technology have contributed to renewed philosophical discussions about the nature of truth. Some interpretations of quantum mechanics such as the von Neumann–Wigner interpretation propose that consciousness plays a role in the collapse of the wave function, raising questions about the relationship between observation and physical reality (Rosenblum & Kuttner, 2006).

Concurrently, the rise of generative artificial intelligence, including large language models like ChatGPT, has led to further examination of how information is processed, interpreted, and accepted as true in digital environments. Articles such as those published in the *MIT Technology Review* have discussed how AI systems can influence public discourse by shaping narratives and reflecting existing biases in their training data.

In media studies and esoteric literature, the concept of the "egregore" a collective thought-form or emergent consciousness created by shared belief and attention has been revisited in light of digital interaction. Authors like Mark Stavish have explored the historical and occult dimensions of egregores, and some contemporary commentators have speculated on the parallels between networked cognition and symbolic collectives in the digital era.
