Is That True?: Discerning Truth in an Age of Deception

Have we entered an era where AI programs, like xAI’s Grok 4, combined with Quantum Computing power, have made it impossible to discern truth and reality from their sophisticated creations, clever deceptions and outright forgeries?

Have many prominent members of the traditional media succumbed to political interference in their honest presentation of the news?

Has absolute truth suffered a fatal wound with the forceful advent of subjective truth into every area of life?

What can we really believe in this age of clever deception?



In their new book, Is That True? Discerning Truth in an Age of Deception, authors Larry Willard and Chuck Stephens team up to confront the confusion on these topics and 24 major issues that are prevalent in today’s public space and media news. In Parts I and II, Larry tackles how media news evolved from reporting news to what has now become a type of infotainment, with many obscuring the issues of truth with intentional mixes of partisan political deceptions. He then takes a hard look at the capabilities of AI artificial intelligence when married to quantum computing, noting where it is going and asks if there is a danger that it may lead us into artificial truth, with the inability to discern what is real, and deliver the tool for a powerful form of cultural slavery, without proper built-in safeguards and regulations.
