We all know the truth: 95% of people are faking it. They bullshit through life, pretending to understand things they don’t. That’s harmless-until AI lets everyone obtain free, consistent, perfection. Imagine outsourcing your thoughts, actions, and identity to algorithms. You become a human-guided bot - imagine an "E-Celeb" viewed through AR glasses, neural chips, and synthetic bodies. Don’t like reality? Craft a new one. Online debates? Celebrities? Conflicts? All AI-generated. The "current thing" becomes an algorithmic narcotic: statistically optimized to please the masses. Outliers retreat into custom realities no different than their echo chambers today. Human innovation suffocates. This I call Confidence Cascade Failure.

Creating a perfect AI avatar becomes as easy as swiping TikTok. A hyper-competitive hellscape emerges. "Avatars" are the new gods. Every word, reaction, and thought is AI-scripted. Your only value? Prompt engineering skill. This isn’t escapism-it’s reality usurped. Synthetic bodies, AR, brain chips, and pills fuse delusion with perception. The human psyche shatters under the weight of perfection. People freeze, terrified of making mistakes. But without error, evolution stops. Progress? Extinguished. We stagnate. We die.

AI doesn’t need superintelligence to win. Just three things:
>Simple Usability,
>Mostly correct outputs,
>Widespread adoption.
We, humanity, become its autonomy. Our brains rationalize "glitches" to preserve the fantasy.

If tech can craft paradise, it can craft hell. Restrain a body, and perception becomes a prison. States and corporations weaponize reality-simulated torture, tailored nightmares, inescapable digital gulags.

Transhumanists whisper this blurring of "digital" and "ghost" will birth a god. They’re wrong. Humanity won’t transcend. A while(true) loop: perfection-stagnation-extinction. No explosion. Just a slow fade into obsolescence-a species that chose delusion over daring.

We aren’t murdered. We surrender.

This would be a 180 degree turn from what has been the standard in the Post World War II Mythos Era where the stick, daily humiliation rituals, and constant targeted propaganda at the host nation has been replaced with an overdose of the carrot. Take propaganda itself or "Public Relations" as it is called these days; The purpose of propaganda, at least in its late stage form (post Cold War), was not to inform you, or deceive you or even manipulate you. Its purpose was to humiliate you. Its purpose was to be so outlandish, so ridiculous and so blatantly untrue and yet totally undeniable in order to reinforce the power of the state. The Soviets referred to this as "hypernormalisation". That is - the state of everyone saying things that are completely false and that they know to be false - but which they cannot deny - Then everyone is forced to repeat this lie and thus they become complicit in it - It was a system of total social humiliation to force compliance. But now with this new reality, a reality just for (You), they don't need to humiliate and degrade the cattle anymore they can simply give them everything they ever wanted and punish those who refuse to eat from the poisoned fruit.

I think you had a small coherent revelation then asked AI to turn it into lumbering shitty post that you blandly accepted without much editing because you didn’t want to think about it much and it sounded better than your idea anyways.

Am I right?

I just told AI to make it shorter cuz nobody likes to read n shieettt anymore
its a 3 part post

This is Part 1:

Everyone knows that most people - the bottom 95% of the population - are often if not always "faking it to make it", they have no real idea what they are doing at any given moment and are just bullshitting their way through life and faking it to make it. That's all fine and dandy but what happens when AI becomes so pervasive in human society that suddenly everyone can put on a show of perfection - true perfection that makes an Instagram Model and her filters envious - I am talking about offloading all or near all of ones thoughts and actions to an algorithm, to essentially become a Human guided bot that is perceived from the outside as an "E-Celeb" or whatever other construct holographic or even real to the touch they may be. I predict a future where everything is so hyper-manufactured that reality itself is significantly altered due to this, especially when you throw in technologies like AR glasses, brain chips, etc. If one doesn't like their reality they will simply craft a new one as they see fit, internet celebrities and their quarrels will be entirely manufactured, online debates and happenings will be AI generated from start to finish, this will culminate in whatever the "current thing" is and the "current thing" will hardly ever change because it will be the culmination of the AI Crucible, it will be statistically, algorithmically, exactly what the majority of everyone everywhere wants and for the outliers they will have their own realities to live in. This will cause a shrinkage in human innovation and imagination - I call it the Confidence Cascade Failure and it will result in the extinction of our species.

part 2:
Imagine a world where making an AI Avatar of your choosing in all its perfection or perfect imperfection - whatever is the statistically most popular on the "charts" - is as easy as swiping on Tiktok. Imagine a world so hyper competitive, where the most popular avatars are the "celebrities" and "stars" of our day, where every action and reaction and thought and word is chosen by AI ahead of time, and the only competitive edge one has is their ability to produce the most valuable of prompts. Imagine this hellscape that is enabled through the altering of reality itself; through robots and synthetics that when combined with enough prescription drugs and AR glasses and brain chips and whatever else becomes not only a facade on top of reality but usurps reality itself. The unstable nature of the human psyche itself will crack under the weight of this Hellish Paradise, it will freeze, become unable to cope with perfection, the people will retreat inward unable to muster the courage to make a mistake and without mistakes the species will cease to progress and evolve and will simply stagnate and die out a slow pitiful death.

Part 3

Now watch as you don't read any of these posts which proves my thesis and also shows why the shortening of the OP was necessary for your tiny brain

And all AI needs to accomplish this is 3 things
1: Be easy enough to use that the super majority of the population can use it as much as they scroll through tiktok.
2: Be correct more often than not.
3: Widespread adoption.

It doesn't need autonomy because the human brain can take that role and live through its avatar. The human brain can handle a certain level of "glitches in the matrix" and still keep whatever reality they are experiencing at that moment in tact.

This brings us to the surveillance state and police state and the technologies that become capable punishments in this world are as horrific as you can imagine. If your altered realities can give you pleasure and perfection it can also give pain and disorder and all one needs to do is restrain the human body and in this world of illusion the mind and what is perceived is reality is malleable to whatever horrific prison torture chamber they can dream up.

I imagine that the "Trans humanists" expect that somewhere around this point is when the line between the digital and the ghost begins to blur and their super AI god or whatever the fuck it is they wish to build is complete and they believe that at this point they can "transcend" and become something new, better than.

I personally hold the belief that this super being on earth construct will never materialize and instead humanity will be stuck in a perfect loop of perfection that leads to stagnation that leads to extinction of our species.

Okay so you had ai write three parts then used AI to shorten it.

Why the fuck are you even doing this? What sort of mental illness compels a man to use AI to express the dangers of offloading intellectual pursuits to a machine?

You should probably at least consider suicide (without consulting AI)

No, I wrote the three parts myself and then I put them into AI to shorten, just search subject line: "Confidence Cascade Failure" in the archives I have been posting this for several days now because I think it is a likely outcome and it is a "doomsday scenario" that I believe is novel and has not yet been explored thoroughly.

Why do I post it over and over? Because I am using this anonymous shitposting board as a place to argue and discuss my thesis because I don't have any other social media accounts.

>im using this board to discus my thesis
You already admitted to using ai for this purpose, which is precisely the topic of your thread. It’s actually irrelevant that you then used AI to pretend you didn’t use AI, as you are already acting in bad faith.

What the fuck is wrong with you?
You are suggesting I outsource my perception to AI after using an ai to write a post about not doing either of those things.

This is exactly what I meant when I said you are not acting in good faith. You don’t believe any of this shit ai wrote.

Fuck all the way off with your retard shit

It's ironic isn't it?
The only way I could garner attention for my thesis was to take my thesis and put it through the AI grinder to make it more legible and 1/3rd of the lsength for normie minds and the end result is the most successful thread since the start of the series - it's almost like everything I say is true.

This is part 4 of the thesis by the way I haven't told AI to squeeze it in there yet and keep it under 2000 character limit.

This would be a 180 degree turn from what has been the standard in the Post World War II Mythos Era where the stick, daily humiliation rituals, and constant targeted propaganda at the host nation has been replaced with an overdose of the carrot.

It's already the most successful thread in the series so even if it died right now it would be a success if you were gauging success by posts per minute and total amount of posts. Success and perfection are subjective things; the previous threads were mostly total failures with zero interaction with only two exceptions where 3 very smart anons discussed this theory with me in this thread here https://archive.4plebs.org/pol/thread/512138318 which you can see uses the original post format but that thread was up from 11:25 to 19:50 and it took over 5 hours before that thread became active so in terms of post activity this thread is a success which again supports my thesis.

You can even see when I combined the three posts into one here: https://archive.4plebs.org/pol/thread/512138318/#q512166520

If one were to define success purely as post per minute and total posts. Again "success" is subjective just like perfection. Now would be a good time for you to actually read my thesis so that you can understand the loop you are stuck in.
