Judgment-as-Product

Under generative abundance, value completes through accountable human judgment — not at the moment of AI generation.

Judgment-as-Product (JAP) holds that AI-generated outputs are materials, not products, until a human selects, validates, adopts, and accepts responsibility for consequences.

When production is cheap, the binding constraint shifts to judgment burden, decision latency, and responsibility concentration.
