The practitioner statement of the Information Shock argument, pitched to the profession rather than the field. Lays out the two authorship modes in plain terms, places AI literacy as the right answer to the smaller question, and introduces the accountable conversant as a role claim rather than a competency. Documents are not treated as disappearing. Their function shifts from where learning happens to what a community consults in order to hold the exchange accountable. Ends on Monday morning terms: reference moves from access to accountability, instruction from evaluating outputs to presence in the exchange, collection from what a community reads to what it can argue with. Uses the strong "the document dissolves" phrasing rather than the monopoly-dissolution formulation. Companion to the JDoc article and the SocArXiv preprint, which carry the theoretical apparatus this piece leaves out.
