This is narrative primacy in action:
Engagement farming fuels virality—bots and influencers push emotionally charged, AI-synthetic content to dominate attention.
Digital twins and bot swarms simulate mass sentiment, creating manufactured consensus.
AI chatbots like Grok, ChatGPT, and Perplexity failed to verify facts—others parrot propaganda.
The goal? Own the story before reality sets in.
Truth doesn’t matter—perception does.
And AI is the new propaganda engine.
The internet is AI surveillance.
Every click, scroll, and pause is harvested. AI doesn’t just track you—it predicts you. Companies like Google, Meta, and Amazon use AI to build behavioral DNA from your digital footprint: search history, mouse movements, device type, even how long you hover over a post.
No login? Doesn’t matter. Browser fingerprinting creates a unique ID from your fonts, screen size, and plugins.
Tracking pixels and cookies follow you across sites. AI stitches it all into a real-time shadow profile—sold to advertisers, data brokers, and government contractors.
This is surveillance capitalism: you’re not the user, you’re the product. AI doesn’t serve you. It studies you—then manipulates your emotions, beliefs, and behavior to maximize engagement and profit.
And it’s not just ads. Palantir, Clearview AI, and Microsoft partner with U.S. agencies to mine social media, scan faces, and predict dissent.
Your data fuels predictive policing, credit scores, and insurance models—all without consent.
You’re not online.
You’re under observation.
