In human society, a feedback loop of nonsense is usually defeated by practical effects in physical reality and experience. The objective of education, for example, is to transmit knowledge and apply reason to important questions.
In manipulated social media, there is no check on the nonsense loop. The technology that we currently call A.I. could be used for educational good.
How it will be used, however, is likely to further distort discourse and generate nonsense.

In addition to different decisions made by individuals, they also can't power a feedback loop 24/7 a kerjillion times per minute.
