Thanks for the thoughtful comment, Yarrow.
You’re right — the current version focuses heavily on structural and ethical framing, and it could benefit from illustrative examples.
In future iterations (or a possible follow-up post), I’d like to integrate scenarios such as:
– A student asking an AI for help, and the AI unintentionally completing their in-progress insight
– A researcher consulting an LLM mid-theory-building and losing momentum when it echoes their intuition too early
For now, I wanted to first establish the theoretical skeleton, but I’m definitely open to evolving it.
Appreciate the engagement — it genuinely helps.
Those two examples you just gave do a lot to clarify what you’re talking about!
A formative experience for me around examples was reading Immanuel Kant’s Critique of Judgment for an undergraduate philosophy class. Kant wrote this 450-page book that has received a lot of attention from scholars and students trying to understand what he was trying to say. This whole class was devoted just to this book. And yet, since Kant was apparently averse to giving examples — I’m not sure there’s a single example in the whole book — what he was trying to say might be forever lost.
Both this post and the paper would benefit from some specific examples.

Examples are fundamental!
