    @jasonsantamaria The "They’ve broken so many of the spoken and unspoken contracts of the web." really stuck out to me.

    Not sure if you have elaborated on this before or might later, but I don't think the more recent generations view this like we did or once did. This doesn't justify the IP heist we witnessed, but there's a generation rift I see daily compared to when we had to build everything to publish it.

    @webology Yep, I think you are right there. It feels like there is more of a disconnect for meanings behind ownership, provenance, and usage.

    @jasonsantamaria @webology This is also true where I stand, to be sure. Add onto those three the Privacy topic, which newer generations shrugged about, likely because it prevented usage of free online tools and games? Regardless…

    @jasonsantamaria Beautiful post, I couldn’t agree more! I think a lot about the learning part as well. And also about what’s left when you take away the effort and the journey. A friend recently told us that a coworker “wrote” her complete master’s thesis with ChatGPT. Imagine spending the rest of your life knowing you didn’t actually write and achieve that milestone yourself…

    @matthiasott Thank you! And ugh, that just gives me a pit in my stomach. I think about this a lot with my kids. Still too young to be using AI for assignments and the like... but I want them to love learning and growing.

    I really hate how quickly so many folks are making this tradeoff.

    @jasonsantamaria Yes, same here! Our son is fourteen and is now using ChatGPT occasionally out of curiosity (“how does it explain the general theory of relativity?” 🤔) or if he needs a second “exhaustive mainstream answer” for something. But a lot of his friends are using AI for their homework assignments, of course. And that’s where it feels so dangerous.

    @jasonsantamaria It takes away the experience of struggling, failing, and ultimately figuring something out yourself. And of finding joy in certain activities, topics, or challenges – which ultimately helps you find out what you’re good at, what you love to do, and who you are. Also, how do you then build confidence in your ability to learn and grow?

    @jasonsantamaria Love it! Not sure about the map reading analogy. I think I'm decent at reading maps, but I also have a bad sense of direction. I have some terrible pre-satnav memories: frantically flipping through my Cape Town map book in an area of which people told me never to stop. And riding my motorbike for at least an hour in the wrong direction on a Monday morning. Had to call the office I wasn't coming in that day. Still better than repeatedly giving dumb prompts to an LLM though :D

    @jasonsantamaria As a creator, I constantly « steal » (get inspired by others works). The usage of work done by others does not bother me but 2 things in that post resonate with me deeply.

    * "The power imbalance is so great…" Capitalism driven by colonialism all over again.
    * "… that explicitly opted out" Consent is the important part here.

    I want to stay away from the notion of property because it has plenty of ramifications.

    "unspoken contracts of the web" == culture. They do not have it
