Getting the most out of AI feedback Easy strategies that support the writing process and help build AI literacy

Prendre en compte les retours de l' #IA sur son travail est une façon relativement simple et peu risquée d'utiliser l'IA. C'est une alternative efficace au fait de laisser l'IA écrire ou réécrire à votre place.

Opinion | I Teach Creative Writing. This Is What A.I. Is Doing to Students.

Anyone thinking about AI and writing — or what may soon be at stake with much of human creativity — should read this essay by @meghanor.bsky.social. It is… genuinely thought-provoking and insightful. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/18/o...

This is a great essay.

It's really the humans who are tripping! That's what @xolotl.org and I argue in "Are We Tripping? The Mirage of AI Hallucinations" papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

Getting the most out of AI feedback Easy strategies that support the writing process and help build AI literacy

Just finished a student-facing piece on AI feedback from my OER AI Orientation text. It includes prompts from @pairrfeedback.bsky.social and ways to chat back with the feedback.

I’d love input on this from you humans…https://annamills.substack.com/p/getting-the-most-out-of-ai-feedback

Opinion | The Seductions of A.I. for the Writer’s Mind

Superb. Spot on. 🙏

The Seductions of A.I. for the Writer’s Mind www.nytimes.com/2025/07/18/o... by @meghanor.bsky.social

“What we stand to lose is not just a skill but a mode of being: the pleasure of invention, the felt life of the mind at work.”

Okay, I see where you're coming from. I think online can be done well and work well for many students, but I don't want it to replace in-person. There is huge demand for it, so that's a factor too.

Interesting. That seems like it will be quickly solvable. The data is all there to provide context...

What about the many, many students who have to work full time and raise kids or care for family members?

Human Feedback Still Matters: A Closer Look at Combining AI and Peer Review in Writing Instruction New research shows that combining peer and AI feedback enhances student learning, reflection, and equity in writing instruction.

Peer + AI feedback supports stronger writing, equity, and reflection. Read the latest on the PAIRR Substack today.

Imagine if a student can pay $20/month to be able to say to their computer, "Please log in to Canvas for me and complete all the assignments due today."

That might be the case as of today if OpenAI's agent is allowed to access learning management systems.

Yet we can't abandon online learning.
