Hi there, I enjoyed reading your perspective. I’m a clinical psychologist who makes a living writing psych reports and I can’t imagine writing my reports without AI. It’s helped so much! But as an educator teaching writing, I can empathize with how disappointed and disheartened you must feel. I often wonder how the hell I got through my doctoral program and wrote an entire dissertation without AI. I don’t even know if I could still do it now and a part of me wonders why I would even want to. I just joined substack and am guilty of using AI to help me write my first two articles. Reading these types of reflections inspires me to challenge myself to get back to my roots and write without a safety net.
