The recent advancements in generative artificial intelligence (AI) have sparked a heated debate among academicians, particularly in the English and communications discipline. While some professors fear that AI will hinder learning, others believe it offers solutions to many of the world’s problems. Dr. Leslie Seawright, an associate professor in technical and professional writing, takes a balanced approach, arguing that AI can be a helpful tool for students, faculty, and industry professionals if used effectively. Seawright suggests that AI programs are best used as personal writing assistants, helping with topic formulation, title suggestions, and proofreading, rather than as authors. She also emphasizes the importance of critical thinking and creative problem-solving in the effective use of AI.
