AI can now do almost anything we ask. That was the easy part.
The hard part is deciding what we shouldn't ask it to do.
Every AI product asks what it can do for you. Almost none ask what should stay yours.
Some things only mean something when a person does them. Saying sorry. Saying I love you. Grieving. Signing your name.
Those aren't inefficiencies. They're the point.
AI can write anything in your voice. It can't be you, here, meaning it.
So machines should prove what they are. People shouldn't have to prove who they are.
Each of us keeps a list of what stays ours. It stays ours. write yours ↓
Together we write the floor every AI stands on. It belongs to everyone. that's manners.txt
What's yours, stays yours.
Two things you can do today. One place it came from.
