*Structural Moves*

## Definition

Generative AI replaces a category of human creative or professional output (journalism, music, voice acting, illustration, obituary writing, book reviews) at scale, displacing the implicit social contract that an artifact was human-produced.

## Distinct from

* [**GER-322**](/ger/codes/322) — Category-level human-vs-synthetic contract displaced → this code. Per-artifact provenance missing → GER-322.
