Authors: Johnson, Gavin P.
Source: Composition Studies. Spring2023, Vol. 51 Issue 1, p169-175. 7p.
Subject Terms: *Artificial intelligence, *Digital literacy, *Intellectual development, Language models, Writing automation
Abstract: The article focuses on the literacy crisis related to Artificial intelligence (AI) and Large Language Model (LLM) generated writing. Topics include the recognition that technologies are never neutral but influenced by cultural practices, the historical evolution of technology in writing instruction, and the importance of teaching technologies, such as AI and LLMs, to foster digital literacies. The author argues for a pedagogical approach rather than policing student's use of AI and LLMs.
