In his writing, Licon (2025) sought to refine the distinction between bullshit and sophism, and he associated ChatGPT with a machine that institutionalises bullshit as an epistemic modus operandi. However, we need to rethink the radical dimensions of ChatGPT, which magically designs the irrational side of humankind, including removing the functional privilege of truth itself. While Licon sees epistemic failure, we extend this to identify a structural transformation: a shift from an economy of truth to an economy of algorithmic persuasion. When narrative coherence replaces factual correspondence as discursive currency, we face not only the proliferation of bullshit but the collapse of epistemic architecture. The implications are definitive. Truth loses its regulative function in the algorithmic rhetorical regime, and what remains is discursive inflation without any distinguishing standards.
