When exactly did “democratise” begin to mean “remove need to learn”? GenAI democratised writing skills and art by not requiring any creativity, there’s Linux distros that democratise self-hosting by making it a one click process that will put you in a position of not knowing how to debug or make sure you’re following basic security practices in the long term.
Why is democratising access all about removing the need to learn and practise skills, rather than expanding access to educational materials and safe ways of experimenting and learning? I dislike this so much.
