Hannah Forsyth reflects on the importance of authentic authorship in writing and reading amid the rise of AI-generated content, emphasizing that writing is integral to learning, thinking, and personal development rather than mere output. She critiques the prevailing “thru-put” model of education that prioritizes quantity and metrics over meaningful learning, warning that reliance on AI for writing threatens both quality education and the relationship between reader and writer. Forsyth advocates for engaged, slower writing and teaching practices that value individual intellectual growth and authentic authorial voice.
