Beneath the rhetoric of productivity lies a deeper impulse: not the desire to be freed from labor, but to be freed from thought. This is the AI risk that we need to be attuned to.

Because what vanishes in that moment is not just effort. It is identity -- our identity. The very thing that made us human in the first place.

Reddit moderation looks public but functions like private control—unaccountable mods silence users without oversight or standards, distoring online discussion.

The CSU system’s willingness to roll out this program mid-semester without institutional safeguards represents a staggering breach of trust. But OpenAI's role is worse. It has engineered a system that encourages dependency under the guise of empowerment, and monetizes institutional confusion and policy lag. This is not technological innovation. It is an ethical regression dressed in futuristic branding.

a new kind of censorship is emerging — not through laws or overt bans, but through algorithms and search engine policies. Content is no longer judged primarily by its truthfulness, clarity, or moral seriousness. It is increasingly judged by who created it. The result is a subtle but devastating shift: sites filled with low-quality but verifiably human-created material will rank higher than sites that quietly contain profound AI-assisted insights.

This is a moment of real moral gravity. CSU could become a beacon showing how AI and education can co-evolve for the better—or a cautionary tale of how even well-meaning institutions can self-destruct by mistaking automation for progress.
