Not talking about correctness here but rather about reducing user autonomy by taking away choice.

Users are lazy and will happily trade autonomy for automation.

That's another topic which doesn't contradict with the core statement. We are trying to figure out if having something decide for you what to think is acceptable.

I get what you are saying. Search results you can pour over multiple returns and compare and contrast to draw conclusions. An ai question answer engine gives you one result and you have to take it upon yourself to verify. I guess a parallel to look at is social media: TikTok/YouTube shorts are the most popular content delivery format atm and it is essentially deciding for you what to consume. So I’d say the majority of (young, probably) people are definitely willing to allow a machine to do their thinking for them
