ABSTRACT

With artificial intelligence (AI) now producing human-quality text in seconds via natural language generation, urgent questions arise about the nature and purpose of the teaching of writing in English. Humans have already been co-composing with digital tools for decades, in the form of spelling and grammar checkers built into word processing software. Yet AI has now advanced such that humans need to have less input in the writing process. This article contrasts these developments with findings from a small study of the teaching of writing in Victoria, Australia. The article proposes conceptual framing for these developments through dialogic encounters with Bill Green’s model for compos(IT)ing and Rosi Braidotti’s concept of the posthuman, making suggestions for updating thinking and offering practical strategies for future directions in the teaching of writing.

摘要

随着人工智能 (AI) 现在通过自然语言生成在几秒钟内生成人类质量的文本，出现了关于英语写作教学的性质和目的的紧迫问题。几十年来，人类一直在与数字工具共同创作，以文字处理软件中内置的拼写和语法检查器的形式。然而，人工智能现在已经发展到人类在写作过程中需要更少的投入。本文将这些发展与澳大利亚维多利亚州写作教学的一项小型研究的结果进行了对比。本文通过与 Bill Green 的组合（IT）模型和 Rosi Braidotti 的后人类概念的对话，为这些发展提出了概念框架，
