Absolutely, this is the age of falsehood. We are living in lies and deception. The systems of the world (both political and economical) are built on deceptions. They will not accept truth nor work with those who are truthful.
Do you know that even we ourselves are not truthful to ourselves not to talk of others. The manufacturing sector gives us fake products on the cover of original. This is a terrible reality because the whole system of the world which man has built is purely on a foundation of falsehood. The advent of AI only helps to perfect falsehood for those whose life is built upon it

It's tough to sort out the truth sometimes. There are entire companies built around using bots to try to influence peoples' opinions one way or another on social media. A US Congress person just admitted that political candidates are regularly using this as a campaign tactic because it isn't illegal. There are also countries doing this as well, China is notorious for doing it but I'm sure all major countries are taking part in these foreign influence campaigns. It's an information-driven cold war.
The era of truth is slowly eroding away. This is a metamorphosis which has already taken over the world information system. We are forcefully made to accept things we cannot know what the outcome will be.
We vote for politicians which we do not know if their performance will match their manifestos. Even in my country, those who are in power whether politically or economically try hard only to influence our decisions through falsehood. It looks like things can't work without wrapping them with lies and deceptions.
Yes, I would say the era of truth ended a very long time ago. I think there are small pockets of people who're waking up and creating communities built around truth. The good thing is we have alternative media outlets now and we can seek the truth for ourselves.
