About

As artificial intelligence transforms the way we write, what happens to the uniquely human power of putting thoughts into words? 

In Who Wrote This? How AI and the Lure of Efficiency Threaten Human Writing, linguist and educator Naomi S. Baron explores the growing influence of artificial intelligence on writing, creativity, and critical thinking. From the history of literacy and nineteenth-century composition instruction to Alan Turing's pioneering work and today's sophisticated AI writing tools, Baron examines how technology is reshaping communication. 

Through engaging historical examples and thoughtful analysis, she considers both the practical advantages of AI-assisted writing and the potential consequences of relying too heavily on automated text generation. 

Can artificial intelligence improve productivity without diminishing independent thought, personal expression, and the intellectual benefits of writing? 

Accessible, insightful, and timely, this compelling examination encourages readers to consider how humans and machines can work together while preserving the essential value of human authorship. 

An important read for educators, writers, students, and anyone interested in language, technology, and the future of communication.
