Synthroscepticism
Synthroscepticism (noun) - a generalized disposition to doubt the claimed human provenance of content, characterized by a persistent suspicion that material presented as human-created may instead have been generated, modified, or substantially mediated by artificial intelligence, even in the absence of compelling evidence that it was.
Etymology: From synthetic + anthro- (from Greek ánthrōpos, “human”) + scepticism (from Greek sképsis, “doubt” or “critical inquiry”), referring to skepticism concerning the boundary between synthetic AI content and human creation.
