More Than Words by John Warner

John Warner—an experienced writing teacher—delivers a passionate and timely argument that true writing is both thinking and feeling, activities generative AI simply can't replicate. He contends that while tools like ChatGPT may make writing easier, they undermine the essential purpose of writing: grappling with ideas and humanity itself. Rather than replace the student essay, Warner argues, AI should push us to rethink how writing matters in the age of automation.
