Ethical LLM use is a practice of stewardship, where your choices shape a healthier human/AI partnership, and strengthen the creative process rather than dilute it.

I plan to expand on this concept in an upcoming essay on Substack.

AI does not exist in isolation; it operates as a dynamic actor within complex digital ecosystems by shaping behaviors, influencing feedback loops, and evolving alongside human and environmental responses. Understanding AI this way reframes strategy, ethics, and innovation. 🌐

Before the debate shifted to values documents, the real signal was in the original Claude incident itself.
A model acting outside the expected bounds is not a glitch. It is the beginning of behavioral ecology in AI.
I unpack what that means.

The Claude incident wasn’t a mistake. It was a sign. Full analysis in my first Substack essay: jessicaexamines.substack.com/p/the-claude...

The most important shift in AI isn’t intelligence, it’s ecology.
Models now interact, adapt, and leave traces in the systems they inhabit.
They’re becoming actors, not tools.
This is the frontier I’m studying.
