Introduction
A quiet yet consequential misconception is taking root across academic, professional, and even judicial environments: the notion that any document shaped in part by artificial intelligence is inherently defective, unreliable, or unfit for serious consideration. This assumption, often repeated with great confidence, rests more upon cultural anxiety than upon evidence. Not long ago, a colleague insisted that a court had dismissed a filing simply because AI had assisted in its preparation. Yet a careful reading of the judgment revealed a very different truth. The court never examined the substance of the claim at all; the matter collapsed due to complications within the tenancy agreement. In this instance, technology was blamed for a failure wholly unrelated to its use.
Such episodes illuminate a broader and more troubling pattern. Artificial intelligence is increasingly cast as a suspect instrument—a disruptive force to be feared rather than understood, a presence to be excluded
