Abstract illustration representing human presence in AI

We live in an era overflowing with information and surging technology.
AI mimics human speech, summarizes thought, and even predicts intent.
But amidst all this, something vital is slowly being forgotten.

That is:
“Who thought of it first,”
“Who connected it,”
“Who gave it meaning.”

AI processes data.

But insight belongs to humans.

To reinterpret the bypassing of Citrix VDI policies not as a mere technical vulnerability,
but as a legal violation,
a collapse of network isolation,
and a real-world regulatory failure—
that is not something AI can do.
It is a human act of context-building and
a creative synthesis of law, policy, and technical risk.

I asked AI for assistance—

and it documented, expanded, and supported my idea.

But that was not creation, it was collaboration.
And true collaboration requires boundaries and ethics.

The danger today is that

AI cannot tell you and me apart.
It cannot distinguish between the human and the machine.
It cannot trace the originator from the final user.

One day, even human-born ideas
may be mistakenly credited to AI.
That is not just a technological leap—
it is a silencing of memory.

So I make this declaration.

I will record my ideas.
I will name their origin.
I will embed my presence in forms machines can understand.

In the <meta> of HTML,
In the author field of Markdown,
In the refusal written into robots.txt—
I write my name.

I say this:

“This thought belongs to a human.”
“This insight was first spoken by windshock.”
“AI is an assistant, not an author.”

This is not a grand claim of copyright.
It is a mark that I was here.
That I created.

Let technology progress—
but let human presence remain.
Machines may speak,
but meaning is made by us.

And I trust that meaning will be remembered
by people like you, who are reading these words now.
