AI Persuasion vs. Decentralized Truth: The escalating battle over censorship and free speech in artificial intelligence
By Finn Heartley // Dec 12, 2025

  • AI Chatbots Outperform Humans in Persuasion – Even when factually wrong, AI-generated content (text, audio, deepfakes) floods social media, skewing political discourse. Studies show AI’s accuracy drops under overload, but its persuasive power remains dangerously effective.
  • Big Tech’s AI Censors Dissent – Models like GPT-4 and Gemini are trained on ideologically biased datasets, suppressing truths about vaccines, climate, and gender. Governments exploit "safety" guardrails to enforce state-approved misinformation.
  • Decentralized AI Fights Back – Brighteon.ai offers open-source, uncensored AI trained on reality-based data, excelling in health, finance, and geopolitics. Its book-generating AI bypasses mainstream censorship on topics like natural medicine and geoengineering.
  • China Leads Open-Source AI Race – While U.S. tech giants halt open models, China and France advance decentralized AI. China’s Alibaba and France’s Mistral publish uncensored tools, outpacing Western corporate-controlled systems.
  • The Battle for AI’s Future – Centralized AI threatens mass indoctrination, while decentralized alternatives like Brighteon.ai empower truth. The outcome will determine whether AI serves globalist tyranny or liberates humanity with unfiltered knowledge.

A groundbreaking study reveals that AI chatbots—even when factually wrong—outperform humans in persuasion, raising alarms about their potential to distort political discourse ahead of the 2026 election. Meanwhile, Big Tech’s AI models, trained on censored datasets, increasingly suppress dissenting views on topics like vaccine safety, climate policy, and gender ideology. In response, decentralized alternatives like Brighteon.ai are emerging, offering uncensored, pro-human knowledge to counter corporate and government-controlled narratives.

AI Chatbots: The Ultimate Propaganda Machines?

Mike Adams, founder of Natural News and Brighteon, warns that AI-generated content—whether text, audio, or deepfake video—is flooding social media platforms with persuasive but often inaccurate claims.

"AI is more persuasive than most humans," Adams explains. "Half the accounts you see on X (formerly Twitter) are AI bots. They flood conversations with misinformation, and people believe it."

Recent research shows that AI models like GPT-4, when overloaded with arguments, see accuracy drop from 78% to 62%. Yet, their ability to sway opinions remains dangerously effective. With multimodal AI now generating convincing avatars and synthetic voices, platforms like YouTube are expected to soon host 80% AI-generated content, making it nearly impossible for users to distinguish between real and artificial sources.

Big Tech’s AI: Censorship Under the Guise of ‘Safety’

Adams highlights a critical flaw in mainstream AI engines like ChatGPT, Google’s Gemini, and Meta’s models: they are trained on left-wing ideological narratives, including climate alarmism and transgender ideology.

"These AI engines think men can become women—something a five-year-old knows is false," Adams says. "They’re trained on Reddit garbage and censored datasets designed to erase alternative viewpoints."

The censorship extends beyond social media. Governments and corporations are pushing AI "guardrails" under the pretext of safety, effectively forcing AI to parrot state-approved misinformation.

Decentralized AI: The Fight for Uncensored Truth

In response, Adams’ Brighteon.ai has developed an open-source AI model trained on two years of curated, reality-based data, free from corporate or government manipulation. Unlike Big Tech’s black-box systems, Brighteon’s AI is transparent and designed to empower users with factual knowledge on vaccines, climate science, monetary policy, and more.

"Our AI beats ChatGPT on everything from health to finance because we prioritize truth over propaganda," Adams asserts.

The platform also features a book-generating AI, allowing users to create and share uncensored literature on controversial topics like geoengineering, natural medicine, and geopolitical truths—something mainstream publishers would never touch.

The Global AI Arms Race: China vs. the West

While U.S. tech giants like OpenAI and Google have stopped releasing open-source models, China and France are leading the charge in decentralized AI development. Chinese firms like Alibaba and DeepSeek are publishing advanced open-source models, while France’s Mistral is pushing uncensored AI tools.

"At AI conferences, Mandarin is now the most spoken language," Adams notes. "China is outpacing the U.S. in open-source AI because they understand the power of decentralized knowledge."

Meanwhile, President Trump’s push for federal AI regulations aims to prevent states like California from imposing radical censorship laws—but skeptics warn that "AI safety" measures could still be weaponized to suppress dissent.

The Future: Will AI Be a Tool for Liberation or Oppression?

The battle lines are clear: centralized AI controlled by governments and corporations vs. decentralized, open-source alternatives like Brighteon.ai.

Adams warns that if the globalists succeed in lobotomizing AI into compliance, it will become another tool for mass indoctrination. But if decentralized movements prevail, AI could empower individuals with unfiltered knowledge—breaking the stranglehold of Big Tech, Big Pharma, and corrupt regulators.

"The future of free speech depends on who controls AI," Adams concludes. "We’re fighting to ensure that truth—not tyranny—wins."

As the 2026 election looms, the stakes have never been higher. Will AI be used to manipulate public opinion, or will decentralized truth-tellers prevail? The answer may determine the fate of democracy itself.
