Writing can be hard, equal parts heavy lifting and drudgery. No wonder so many students are turning to the time-saving allure of ChatGPT, which can crank out entire papers in seconds. It rescues them from procrastination jams and dreaded all-nighters, magically freeing up more time for other pursuits, like, say … doomscrolling.
Of course, no one learns to be a better writer when someone else (or some AI bot) is doing the work for them. The question is whether chatbots can morph into decent writing teachers or coaches that students actually want to consult to improve their writing, and not just use for shortcuts.
Maybe.
Jennifer Meyer, an assistant professor at the University of Vienna in Austria, has been studying how AI bots can be used to improve student writing for several years. In an interview with The Hechinger Report, she explained why she is cautious about the ability of AI to make us better writers and is still testing how to use the new technology effectively.

PICK OF THE DAY
You wake up feeling like you’ve run a marathon, even though you didn’t work out. Your body feels heavy, sore, and achy—almost like you’re coming down with something. But you’re not sick. What’s happening?
More than 70% of women in midlife experience body aches, whole-body muscle soreness, muscle fatigue, stiff or swollen joints, aching bones, and other pain symptoms.
“These kinds of discomforts are a very real and often frustrating part of the journey that can come on gradually and insidiously,” explains Natalie Kunsman, M.D., a family medicine physician who treats women in this age group.
Many chalk it up to old age or arthritis, but hormones are often to blame, Hone Health reports.
If you’re in your 40s and have never felt these sensations before, plus you’re having perimenopause symptoms—irregular periods, hot flashes, sleep disruption, mood swings, sexual dysfunction, loss of libido, and cholesterol changes—then signs point to hormonal fluctuations.
