Wrote a digest of our approach to ecohorror in the #rootedincrisis #ttrpg project, with a shout out to some of the currently available games I think are also doing interesting and good things with the horror genre and climate crisis. rootedincrisis.com/2024/03/ecohor…

Getting to the final output in a more 'efficient' way is not something we should associate with learning or quality. It's distressing to me how thoroughly this is being ignored as schools consider the adoption of AI instruction as part of learning to write.

Writing is not just a process by which to produce a text. It is a process through which we think, feel, communicate, and learn. Outsourcing the production of text to something that can do none of those things is really just saying none of that stuff matters. The output is all.

When I see ed tech people say that students can use AI to 'get over the hump' of the first draft I know that they understand nothing about learning to write. They've invited students to abandon the most important part of the experience when it comes to learning.

If writing is thinking (as I believe it to be) the last thing you want to outsource to AI is the first draft because that's where the initial gathering of thoughts happens. It's why first drafts are hard. That difficulty signals their importance.
