Generative AI is not dangerous because it thinks. It is dangerous because it invites us not to. It offers fluency without struggle, synthesis without judgment, creation without risk.

When expression becomes instant, smooth, and endlessly repeatable, rebellion is no longer crushed. It is diluted, softened, and made safe.
