Summary/Abstract: The rapid development of generative artificial intelligence is transforming the ways knowledge is produced, accessed, interpreted, and validated. In the emerging AI-driven environment, knowledge increasingly takes shape within a hybrid space of human–machine interaction, where algorithmic systems participate not only in processing information but also in generating content, recommendations, and decisions. This article offers a philosophical-analytical and interpretative reflection on the transformation of knowledge through the metaphor of Ctrl+A, which symbolically evokes the expansion, accessibility, and algorithmic selection of content in digital environments. Particular attention is paid to the implications of human–AI interaction for cognition, authorship, trust, attention, and educational practice. The study employs a qualitative interpretative approach that combines conceptual analysis of scientific, normative, strategic, and selected public sources, observations from educational practice, and a reflexive component based on the author’s interaction with ChatGPT between November 2024 and early June 2025. Within this framework, a conceptual emotional curve is used not merely as an illustrative device, but as an interpretative lens through which key features of generative AI are analyzed, including productivity, dialogicality, cognitive offloading, error and hallucination, trust, and the fear of human replacement. The article also addresses the attention economy and the rise of a synthetic media environment, in which AI-generated texts, images, and videos increasingly challenge the boundaries between authentic and simulated content. It argues that in the emerging post-knowledge condition, the value of knowledge depends less on its mere availability than on the human capacity for critical interpretation, meaningful selection, and responsible use.
