Performed authenticity
The deliberate construction of "realness" — confessional tone, casual filming, strategic vulnerability — designed to lower your guard. When someone appears unpolished and honest, you evaluate their claims less critically. The spontaneity is rehearsed.

Viewer Guidance (3 tips)
Consider alternative frames
Information is consistently shaped from one angle. Seek out how other sources present the same facts.

This content frequently uses emotional appeal. Notice when feelings are being prioritized over evidence.
Watch for group characterization
People or groups are reduced to types. Consider whether the characterization serves the argument more than the truth.

Performed authenticity
AI detected as: Manufactured Authenticity
The deliberate construction of "realness" — confessional tone, casual filming, strategic vulnerability — designed to lower your guard. When someone appears unpolished and honest, you evaluate their claims less critically. The spontaneity is rehearsed.
Goffman's dramaturgy (1959); Audrezet et al. (2020) on performed authenticity
Moral outrage
Provoking a sense that something is deeply unfair or wrong, activating a feeling that demands action — sharing, protesting, punishing — before you've fully evaluated the situation. It's one of the most viral emotions online because it combines anger with righteousness.

Us vs. Them
AI detected as: Identity-based Deflection
Dividing the world into two camps — people like us (good, trustworthy) and people not like us (dangerous, wrong). It exploits a deep human tendency to favor our own group. Once you accept the division, information from "them" gets automatically discounted.
