AI Writing Guide: Use AI to Learn, Not to Skip Work
paulnovosad · x · 2026-08-26
Paul Novosad discusses how students should correctly use AI. He argues that asking AI to "clean up essays" is detrimental as it hinders learning to write. A better approach is asking AI to "explain what was done well and poorly." He suggests writing a guide for conscientious students in the AI era, focusing on maximizing learning: build cool stuff with AI, understand homework, but do not skip assignments.
