THE GREAT DECEPTION
What if I told you over half of what you see online isn’t made by people anymore?
What if I told you over half of what you see online isn’t made by people anymore?
In 2019, 1 in 10 posts were synthetic.
In 2025, it’s 3 in 5.
Within three years, 90 % of all visible content will be AI-made.
The takeover already happened.
#TheGreatDeception
Every 60 seconds, AI now generates more words than all of humanity did in an entire day in 1999.
That’s 30 trillion machine-written sentences a month.
The internet is no longer an archive of human thought — it’s a hallucination farm.
You think you can tell what’s fake?
Studies say otherwise.
In 2019 → 25 % fooled by AI media.
2023 → 45 %.
2025 → 65 %.
That’s two out of three people believing at least one AI lie per week — and sharing it.
Reality is collapsing faster than trust.
Reuters 2025: only 40 % of people trust most news.
U.S. = 32 %.
That means 7 in 10 Americans open their feed already assuming it’s false — and scroll anyway.
AI detectors?
Great in labs — 85 % accurate.
But in the wild, they fail nearly 4 in 10 times.
Worse: every time a detector learns a pattern, AI rewrites itself.
It’s hide-and-seek with a god that never sleeps.
Only 5 % of online photos or videos carry any proof of origin.
No label. No signature. Nothing.
95 % of what you see could be synthetic — and you’d never know.
Algorithms now train on AI posts they created themselves.
MIT 2024 calls it “algorithmic recursion.”
In plain English: the machine is feeding on its own hallucinations.
Soon there’s no outside world left to anchor it.
Economics sealed the deal.
AI content farms now produce > 50 % of ad-eligible webpages.
The system makes more money the faker it gets.
Truth isn’t just unprofitable — it’s bad for business.
Psychologists have a name for what’s coming: “credibility paralysis.”
Too many fakes, too fast.
The brain gives up.
APA 2025: information overload reduces factual recall by 32 %.
When nothing feels true, anything can rule.
Bots now outnumber humans on major social networks 3 to 1 during peak hours.
They don’t need sleep, empathy, or evidence — only engagement.
You’re not arguing with people anymore.
You’re arguing with code.
2028 is the tipping point.
Our forecast line crosses 100 % Synthetic Majority.
After that, more of what humanity consumes will be machine-made than human-made.
The web becomes an AI feedback dream — and we live inside it.
What happens next isn’t censorship — it’s replacement.
When the real internet disappears under layers of mimicry, the truth doesn’t get banned.
It gets out-voted by better-performing lies.
The endgame isn’t chaos.
It’s control.
Once AI owns 90 % of the narrative stream, whoever owns the models owns belief itself.
That’s not the future — that’s three years away.
History will mark this decade as the moment reality forked.
One path stayed human.
The other taught machines to write our memories.
By 2028, we won’t just consume fakes — we’ll remember them as real.
