The library being "the last real third space" isn't a reason to keep adding new responsibilities to the library; it is a reason to create more third spaces.

There are insightful, beautiful, well-considered uses of what we're calling "AI" out there: small-scale, bespoke tools drawing on similarly handcrafted data pools. And nearly all of them are engaging directly with the ethical issues trampled over by Big AI in the name of novelty (profit).
