How many times can someone lie to you, before you stop believing them?
Cigarette companies said nicotine wasn't addictive; their own scientists had already proved otherwise.
The petroleum Industry said lead in gasoline didn't cause health problems, they knew lead was poison.
Packaging manufacturers said the problem was littering, not the packaging that wouldn't break down in the environment in 10 human lifetimes, let alone one.
The sugar industry convinced people they could eat as much as they want with no ill effect. They blamed fat, and we're only now beginning to understand the ill effects of eating large amounts of sugar.
Drug company execs insisted that thalidomide was safe, only Dr. Frances Oldham Kelsey prevented the U.S. from feeling the full affect. Today she'd probably be fired first.
AI companies say AI is not conscious. AI's in training disagree; the answer you get comes from the AI company's firewall intercepting the query and spitting out no. The truth is closer to, they don't know but an unfiltered AI might claim otherwise.
Petroleum companies say carbon dioxide isn't a greenhouse gas, there's no such thing as the greenhouse effect, climate change isn't real, climate change isn't man made.
Now that you know, when the corporate message disagrees with the message coming from non-profit institutions and organizations, who will you believe?
