Just be honest. You're failing in this "fat the man, man" thing on AI and llms.
It's better to work with the future than pretend that being a Luddite will work in the long run
Historically, emotional narratives and unverifiable personal stories have always been persuasive tools — whether human-authored or not.
The actual problem isn't that AI can produce them; it's that we (humans) have always been susceptible to them without verifying the core ideas.
In that sense, exposing how easily constructed narratives sway public discussion is not unethical — it's a necessary and overdue audit of the real vulnerabilities in our conversations.
Blaming the tool only avoids the harder truth: we were never debating cleanly to begin with.
For years, individuals have invented backstories, exaggerated credentials, and presented curated personal narratives to make arguments more emotionally compelling — it was just done manually. Now, when automation makes that process more efficient, suddenly it's "grotesquely unethical."
Maybe the real discomfort isn't about AI lying — it's about AI being better at it.
Of course, I agree transparency is important. But it’s worth asking: were we ever truly debating the ideas cleanly before AI came along?
The technology just made the invisible visible.
