Teaching Kids to Write in the Age of ChatGPT

What if chatbots result in the next generation never learning to write? It's a doomsday scenario that we keep coming back to in our series on AI writing tools. If AI can craft essays and compose emails instantly, why would kids bother mastering grammar, sentence structure, or the art of putting thoughts into words? And here's the terrifying follow-up—if they never learn to write, will they lose the ability to truly read and think critically too?

If you've been spiraling down that educational apocalypse rabbit hole, this episode might cheer you up. We're talking with Sonia and Karthik, the team behind SuperDecoders, who are taking a different approach to AI in education. Instead of replacing human creativity, their AI-powered writing tool acts like a personal writing coach for kids—the kind of personalized attention that could help kids develop their writing skills rather than bypass them entirely.

Our discussion with them left us genuinely optimistic about the future. Sometimes the best way to navigate new technology isn't to ban it, but to find smarter ways to use it.

Remember, we have a Writers Process meetup every Wednesday. Check us out.
