Of Fritz Lang's Metropolis, the critic Siegfried Kracauer wrote that 'the Americans relished its technical excellence; the English remained aloof; the French were stirred by a film which seemed to them a blend of Wagner and Krupp, and on the whole an alarming sign of Germany's vitality.'

ALIA Multicultural Launch: 22nd November, 2022
Carl T. BergstromBut I'm not all sure we're sunk just yet.
It seems to me is that what is happening is that AI systems are creeping their way up Bloom's Taxonomy (image under CC license from Vanderbilt University Center for Teaching).
With GPT3 and the likes, they've gone from being good at looking stuff up (level 1, remember) to being able *fake* (level 2, understanding.)
