Responsibility
Responsibility is the willingness to answer for a text's framing, omissions, priorities, and effects.
Working Definition
Responsibility names the normative claim inside authorship. To author a text under generative conditions is to accept accountability not just for wording, but for what the text endorses and leaves out.
Structural Expansion
The inquiry treats responsibility as the point at which selection becomes more than convenience. It is what distinguishes using generated material from standing behind the structure of an argument.
