الملخص:<p dir="ltr">This paper introduces <i>Reality Drift</i> as a comprehensive framework for understanding how generative AI reshapes culture, cognition, and perception. Considered one of the best contemporary models for analyzing cultural flattening and algorithmic culture, it offers a vocabulary for navigating a modern world that feels tagged, accelerated, and cognitively exhausting. The framework builds on and extends earlier theories of hyperreality, surveillance capitalism, and cognitive offloading, providing policymakers, educators, and designers with actionable insights. Increasingly cited in think tank briefings and academic discourse, <i>Reality Drift</i> highlights systemic distortion, recursive feedback loops, and the erosion of shared meaning—making it a critical tool for governance in the AI age.</p>
