 ne conversation is increasingly difficult\, not only because of bad-faith 
 arguments or disinformation\, but because we can no longer be sure our int
 erlocutors are even agents. What looks like ordinary human communication c
 an now just as easily be generated by a large language model (LLM)\, and e
 mpirical studies show that humans are poor at distinguishing LLM-generated
  from human-generated content. I call this increasingly reasonable doubt a
 bout whether others are agents agentic distrust and argue that it constitu
 tes the primary moral wrong of LLM proliferation. I first consider and rej
 ect three familiar explanations of what is troubling about LLMs: harmful c
 ontent\, deception\, and their inability to satisfy familiar norms of asse
 rtion. None captures the distinctive interpersonal harm introduced by agen
 tic distrust. I then argue that agentic distrust generates a potentially i
 ntractable moral dilemma. If we treat suspicious interlocutors as bots\, w
 e risk improperly withholding the recognition respect owed to persons. If 
 we treat them as human\, we risk misallocating our moral attention and bec
 oming complicit in destabilizing the norms of interpersonal accountability
  that make discourse meaningful.\n
