This is a great perspective. I particularly liked the focus on Semantic Forensics and the 'Ethical No-Free-Lunch' principle. It moves the conversation beyond just 'detecting AI' and toward maintaining actual human accountability in a high-noise environment.

Spot on, Rakshita! I’m glad those resonated. We often get stuck in a 'cat and mouse' game of AI detection, which is a losing battle. The 'Ethical No-Free-Lunch' principle is my way of saying that even if a machine does the heavy lifting, the human still owns the outcome. We can't outsource our integrity to a stochastic parrot!

The line that sticks: "truth loses by attrition." Not by argument, not by being wrong — just by being too expensive to defend. That reframes the whole problem.

I didn't have a name for this before but computational skepticism is one of those terms that reframes everything once you hear it. The problem was never that AI lies. It's that verification can't keep up. And now its getting more and more important that we inculcate this in our day-to-day.
