Descriptively, the meaning of “shard theory” is contextual (unfortunately). If I say “I’m working on shard theory today”, I think my colleagues would correctly infer the AI case. If I say “the shard theory posts”, I’m talking about posts which discuss both the human and AI cases. If I say “shard theory predicts that humans do X”, I would be referring to shard theory_{human values}.
(FWIW I find my above disambiguation to remain somewhat ambiguous, but it’s what I have to say right now.)
