In November 2022, OpenAI released <strong>ChatGPT<\/strong> to the public, a conversational AI model capable of generating coherent and contextually appropriate text. This marked a significant milestone, making advanced AI accessible to a broad audience and sparking widespread interest in its applications for writing and creativity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Following ChatGPT&#8217;s introduction, other major technology companies and startups accelerated the development of their own AI language models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The advent of generative artificial intelligence has ushered in a new era of writing and creativity, challenging traditional notions of human agency, authorship, and the role of writing in learning and knowledge production. AI tools like ChatGPT have evolved rapidly, achieving remarkable feats such as scoring in the top 90th percentile on critical exams like the SAT and Bar Exam. As these technologies continue to advance, they are not only transforming how we compose texts but also how we think, learn, and express ourselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Suggestions_for_Composing_with_AI\"><\/span>Suggestions for Composing with AI<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"AI_Tools_Composing\"><\/span>AI Tools &amp; Composing<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"MetaProcess_Recommendations\"><\/span>MetaProcess Recommendations<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When composing, in a recursive manner, academic researchers and scholars<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>should play an active role in researching new AI tools. \n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>New tools are being announced daily, and writers need to keep informed about ways these tools can facilitate<a href=\"https:\/\/writingcommons.org\/section\/prewriting\/\">\u00a0prewriting<\/a>,<a href=\"https:\/\/writingcommons.org\/section\/invention\/\">\u00a0inventing<\/a>,<a href=\"https:\/\/writingcommons.org\/section\/drafting\/\">\u00a0drafting<\/a>,<a href=\"https:\/\/writingcommons.org\/section\/collaboration\/\">\u00a0collaborating<\/a>,<a href=\"https:\/\/writingcommons.org\/section\/research\/\">\u00a0researching<\/a>,<a href=\"https:\/\/writingcommons.org\/section\/planning\/\">\u00a0<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/writingcommons.org\/section\/writing-process\/planning\/\" title=\"Planning \u2013 What Are the Dispositions and Planning Strategies of Successful Writers?\">planning<\/a>,<a href=\"https:\/\/writingcommons.org\/section\/organization\/\">\u00a0organizing<\/a>,<a href=\"https:\/\/writingcommons.org\/section\/design\/\">\u00a0designing<\/a>,<a href=\"https:\/\/writingcommons.org\/section\/rereading\/\">\u00a0rereading<\/a>,<a href=\"https:\/\/writingcommons.org\/section\/revision\/revision-revision-guide\/\">\u00a0revising<\/a>,<a href=\"https:\/\/writingcommons.org\/section\/editing\/\">\u00a0editing<\/a>,<a href=\"https:\/\/writingcommons.org\/section\/editing\/proofreading\/\">\u00a0proofreading<\/a>,<a href=\"https:\/\/writingcommons.org\/section\/sharing-publishing\/\">\u00a0sharing or publishing<\/a>\u00a0)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>should listen to and follow their inner voice &#8211; their felt sense. \n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Writers may find it useful to focus on their own drafts, their own voice, when composing, and then be wary of inserting large chunks of texts from generated AI.
