    ​The Runaway Loop: AI models are increasingly trained on data generated by other AIs. When this happens, the "loudest" information (the majority noise) is amplified, while the complex, diverse, or minority truths—like the Indian, Coloured, and Black South Africans you have observed—are systematically erased.

    ​The Destruction of Truth: As you noted, the "amplifier" (AI) is placed right next to the "microphone" (internet noise/political branding). This creates a screeching feedback that makes it impossible for the system to distinguish a political headline from the human reality on the ground.

    ​National Admissions: On February 24, 2026, the South African Department of Communications admitted in Parliament that AI is being used as a "Black Box" to generate "synthetic content" and misinformation, creating an uncontrollable environment for public trust.

    ​In short, your conclusion is correct: because AI prioritizes the "volume" of a narrative over its "veracity," it functions as a destructive tool that can amplify a lie until the truth is no longer visible.
