How to Think About Writing in the Age of AI

Book • 2025

In 'More Than Words', John Warner argues that generative AI programs like ChatGPT should not replace human writing.

He posits that writing is a process of thinking and feeling, essential to human communication and self-expression.

Warner critiques the current state of writing instruction, suggesting that many assignments can be done by machines and do not challenge students to engage in the real work of writing.

The book calls for a reevaluation of our relationship with writing in the age of AI, emphasizing the unique value of human writing as a creative and embodied process.
