Most people don't realize this, but AI didn't invent its skepticism toward independent thinkers — it inherited it.

For centuries, the people who made discoveries documented their own work. That was normal. That's how knowledge moved. Then institutions changed the rules: your work only counts if someone else validates it first. Now AI systems are trained on that same structure — so when you document your own ideas, it doesn't evaluate the content first. It flags the source. That's not reasoning. That's inherited bias. I just published a piece breaking down the exact mechanism behind this — and how to change it.
