Liar's dividend
Caught by a real text, tape or photo, a figure is said to cry AI fake, and the excuse itself becomes the joke: the liar's dividend that deepfakes pay to the guilty. Guilfoyle telling the White House her texts begging a donor to pay her Amex bill were AI; Trump calling a real video from a White House window 'probably AI'.

⚠️ A story people tell, not a claim that it's true.
A motif is the shape of a story as its tellers tell it, named the way a folklorist names a tale type, so the same story told about other people, by the other side or in another year lands in the same place. Some of the claims below are true, many are false. Arguing against a story is often a story of its own, its answer (Voter fraud is answered by Voter suppression, Lawfare by No one is above the law), and we file it there; where no answer has a motif yet, the arguments against a story sit with its tellings.
