"The fact that machines can generate meaning in the first place is an existential curiosity. But for writers, and for young writers in particular, AI has a more practical significance."
"A recent survey found that 86% of college students use AI regularly, which means that 14% are lying to survey-takers. The ordinary business of quotidian language writing student essays, emails, memos, all the granular sentence-by-sentence work that once trained writers in their craft is dissolving."
"AI is here to stay, neither as an apocalypse nor as the solution to all life's problems, but as a disruptive tool."
AI is now a permanent fixture, serving as a disruptive tool rather than a solution or a threat. The controversy surrounding the cancellation of Mia Ballard's novel, Shy Girl, highlights the complexities of AI in writing. While many students regularly use AI, traditional writing skills are diminishing. The ability of machines to generate meaningful content raises existential questions for writers. The author has experience with AI-generated content, having published works that showcase its potential and implications for the future of writing.
