@samueljohnson @wackJackle I need to read a bit more about that. The definitions for data and information I had in mind were close to these: https://bloomfire.com/blog/data-vs-information/
According to these definitions, I still think that GenAI/LLM output does not qualify as information. At best, it mimics information provided by others.
But I agree on disinformation being a form of information.
@wackJackle Thanks for sharing this! Her take on the successive tech revolutions about information is quite interesting.

But I find it difficult to consider the output of LLMs/Gen AI as "information". I'd rather word it as "data".
For it to be considered as "information", I would expect these technologies to provide "new facts", which they can't (or hallucinate, in which case they are false information).
Therefore I don't see how this serves the information history.
