5. Being glad that a human learns from your work is a relational, dialogic, and ethical stance. Being critical of AI systems that exploit your work without consent is a form of resistance to extractivist infrastructures that profit from cultural labor while erasing its origins.

4. AI doesn’t understand your writing, it reconstructs patterns to simulate meaning. Your text is transformed into training data, stripped of context, intention, and voice. It is semantic colonization, a process that favors automation over interpretation.

3. The ethical issue lies not in the act of learning, but in the exploitative logic by which AI systems scrape texts indiscriminately from the web without your permission or awareness. When a person chooses to engage with your work, there is at least an implicit recognition of authorship and intent.
