Real true or false - which I define as correspondence (or lack thereof) with reality - does not depend on convincing people. Reality does not change when people become convinced; ideas correspond to reality whether people are convinced or not. But perceived truth and falsehood depend on convincing people - either convincing them one by one, or else convincing some gatekeeper, whose word will convince those who accept the gatekeeper.

So if an AI proves something but ""rEpUtAbLe"" papers refuse to publish it just on grounds of it being AI, does that make it not true? You know in the past women (and other marginalized people) weren't allowed to publish scientific papers for the majority of human history? Is this how you want your "truth" to be? If so then man, no sympathy; these institutions deserve to be broken down. Let them spaz on the floor and throw tantrums all they want.
