SEVERAL weeks ago, my dear IPRA colleague Joy Buensalido wrote two very thought-provoking columns on the onset of AI and how this would affect our lives.On July 7, robots held an AI forum in Geneva saying they expected to increase in number and help solve global problems, and not steal our jobs or rebel against us. But in the world’s human-robot press conference, they gave mixed responses on whether they should submit to stricter regulation.
But pause or no pause, it’s clear that AI is advancing incredibly rapidly and soon will transform how a lot of white-collar work gets done. Does this mean that we should decrease the time and effort we invest to write well? Not so, as she explains in Why Learning to Write Well is Still Important in the Age of AI.Writing isn’t just banging out the right string of words to get your meaning across, says Stillman. In fact, “the most important function of writing isn’t to teach others, but to teach yourself.”
“Everyone is full of ideas they’re not aware of,” argues Housel. “They’re got feelings. Intuitions. You use them a dozen times a day. But you’d shrug your shoulders if someone asks why.” While it is good to use those abilities to your advantage, “no bot is going to figure out how complex ideas fit together and apply to your specific situation any time soon. No bot can help you pick your way through a challenging intellectual puzzle.”
And the best tool for humans ever invented—including today’s mind-bending new AI tools—is good old-fashioned writing. That’s why, “if you want to be able to think clearly, you still need to learn to write.”
