So if your kids have constant access to AI, which they will very soon as the web embraces it, they won't need to 'know how to write'?
I suggest there are more foundational reasons why it'd be better to learn to write, and that the whole tech world will be AI soon enough and we won't have to depend on OpenAI for this 'feature'.
In fact, using AI should probably be a bit more like 'spellcheck', if we're asking AI to write more than that, it's tantamount to filler.
'Writing' is a 'core' civilization skill, it's basic communication.
It's arguable that the LLMs can help many people improve their writing, communication, and discourse. But I agree that it should be used more like an editor than a primary author.
I expect kids' versions of writing will be very different from ours, in terms of how they get content onto a page.
The grading interface might look similar, but who's gonna use word to write a doc when the real job is coming up with the right prompts to make an ai output the ideas you're trying to communicate?
