Abstract (English): This article examines the continued relevance of the Lasswellian formula in light of the transformations introduced by generative artificial intelligence into contemporary practices of propaganda, disinformation, and astroturfing. Through a theoretical-conceptual analysis based on a critical and integrative review, it reconstructs the analytical conditions that sustained the Lasswellian program, especially the identifiability of the sender, the traceability of the channel, and the attribution of effects. The analysis argues that generative systems intensify the difficulty of recognizing who produces messages, how they circulate, and how their effects are attributed, by articulating automation, personalization, and inauthentic coordination. As a contribution, the article proposes the category of synthetic manufacturing of consensus to interpret the artificial production of social support, public adherence, and collective legitimacy.

Abstract (Spanish): Este artículo examina la vigencia de la fórmula lasswelliana ante las transformaciones introducidas por la inteligencia artificial generativa en las prácticas contemporáneas de propaganda, desinformación y astroturfing. Mediante un análisis teórico-conceptual basado en una revisión crítica e integrativa, se reconstruyen las condiciones analíticas que sostuvieron el programa lasswelliano, especialmente la identificabilidad del emisor, la trazabilidad del canal y la atribución del efecto. El análisis plantea que los sistemas generativos intensifican la dificultad de reconocer quién produce los mensajes, cómo circulan y cómo se atribuyen sus efectos, al articular automatización, personalización y coordinación inauténtica. Como contribución, se propone la categoría de manufactura sintética del consenso para interpretar la producción artificial de apoyo social, adhesión pública y legitimidad colectiva.
