I remember a saying "Information is power." Back then about 2 decades ago or less, it was hard to get information. In school, we depended on paper books. Everyone understood that books meant paper. Nowadays, concepts are blur, mixed and at the mercy of the internet. They were limited and expensive. To get information, we had to ask people, again, real human being, face to face. Again, they were in short supply.

Information was valuable. They were mostly accurate and accountable. And that was it. That was all we got. We had plenty of time to process them. Information turned into knowledge. And knowledge turned into action.

With the spread of the internet, and easy access to them, and to the information, the race of collecting information began. More time spent on collecting them, less time on processing them. The internet is very good at producing vast amount of information. Quality was in question. A huge amount of time spent on collecting and verifying and the storing information.

Most still assumed that "Information is power."

Welcome to AI era! We have lost in the net. Which one is real? Is it AI generated? Is there any evidence? Hmm, where does the evidence come from? Was evidence generated by AI?

We are trapped in "Information" circle.

Can we stop it? Absolutely NO! Without Action, Information is just another poison. It makes us believe that we are making progress; that we are holding the power.

Collect enough information. 
Turn them into knowledge. 
ACTION.
REPEAT.
