Popular LLM overeliance reminds me of the one episode with that society of people who are all linked to the centralized computer core. The Link™ serves as their instant knowledge database, so they lose the ability to actually remember anything or really think for themselves. And if the Link decides to change something in the database, the people are unaware anything changed. As far as they are aware, the current information in the Link at any given time has always been the truth. If someone who does not use the Link tries to point out that something in the Link is not true or has changed, users of the Link vehemently insist that they must be mistaken, and that the Link is infallible.
If that sound interesting, I definitely recommend watching that episode. Even if you watch just that one episode without having seen the rest of the series. It works as a standalone story without having to have seen any other episodes.
I had written SG1 off as silly for so long until getting hooked on season 2. Definitely a “don’t judge a book by its cover”.
Also the variety of stories worked so well. That said, nothing will top “How far is Alaris anyway?” /Several billion miles O’Neill/ “That’s gotta be a record.”
Or the free tickets to the “Virginia Dialogs or something like that”

Stargate SG-1 S7E5 “Revisions”
Yeah, that one is more like AI these days. People’s memories are about to flop because they just sling AI slop, like “oh, did I even submit that?”
You left out the horror of how the machine balanced the books of citizens vs available resources.
I felt that was getting spoilery.
