🧠 EPISODE DROP: Epistemic Insights – Counterfeit Authority in the Age of AI
How do we know what (or who) to trust in a world where AI can mimic expertise?
In this issue, I explore how generative AI disrupts traditional legitimacy signals—like citations, formatting, and expert tone—without undergoing peer review or institutional scrutiny. It’s not just about accuracy, but about epistemic accountability.
🔍 Topics covered:
• Legitimacy Signal Counterfeiting
• Provenance Collapse
• Automation Bias at Scale
• Real-world examples (incl. AI-fabricated legal citations)
• A 3-question framework to assess epistemic trust

Let’s talk about what happens when AI starts looking like authority—but skips the steps that make authority legitimate.
