You know, I feel like we had a real opportunity to counteract some of the "fake news"/propaganda in the media by having these AI-based technologies anchored to more fact-based sources. At least some people would assume their smart speaker or LLM were objective and give it a higher level of trust, and if that trust was validated, we might move in the right direction. But this kind of stuff so deeply tarnishes their reputation that any opportunity is probably irrevocably lost.

For sure true, but most of that wasn't the way average people got information. No argument though.

Why does Mr. Vader not just simply login to the droids to find the rebels?

Either he's forgotten his password or his OS isn't compatible with theirs.
