The Scaling of Plausibility

Thanks to AI, persuasive power can now be manufactured industrially. This episode is the heart of the technological analysis.

We examine how generative models create texts, images, and videos that "feel" right without being true. A perfectly formulated paragraph. A photorealistic image. A video of a person saying something they never said.

These contents are not true. But they are plausible. And in a world of overwhelm, plausibility is often enough. We no longer verify – we sense. And if it feels right, we believe.

Plausibility is the new truth. Not what is, but what could be. Not facts, but feeling. Not proof, but persuasive power.

In the past, creating convincing lies was laborious. You needed talent, time, resources. Today, anyone with a laptop can produce in minutes what used to require studios.

We learn that a perfectly formulated argument is not proof of integrity, but only proof of statistical probability. The AI model has learned what sounds convincing – not what is true.

The manifesto demands a new skepticism toward the "smooth." Distrust perfection. Look for the edges. Ask for the source. In the age of synthetic plausibility, caution toward the convincing is mandatory.
