Dave Eggers warns that AI writing tools can erase student voice in classrooms

Dave Eggers argues that if students use AI to compose their writing, they may never learn to write in their own voice, losing the ability to say their truth and tell their own story.
The post frames this as a warning for writing instruction: teach in a way that centers student voice and motivation, while also adding guardrails to reduce the temptation to outsource writing to AI.
