A lot going on here for a writing teacher to consider and deploy, but it does allow ways for the friction of the writing process to continue, untrammeled by AI.
Yes. It’s going to take a lot of support for teachers. I can’t see any other way out without intolerable inequality. Poor children will suffer unimaginable quality of life if the AI divide continues to increase..
Jason has created what I think of as an AI tutor. Its behaviors are tightly controlled, and it never openly explores the nuances of the user's position. In my chat, I began by saying I usually don't "make an argument" about literature (I might explicate an interpretation that I don't feel obligated to defend to anyone), though I often "make an argument" about factual issues. I enjoy exploring literature to deepen my understanding and aesthetic appreciation, but I find making and defending a perspective or interpretation of a work of literature a waste of time. This bot is a tutor because it restricts me to argue my position and then consider rebuttals and then make my rebuttal and then listen to another argument and in the end we are not exploring literature but rather arguing. In my chat, I was forced to state an argument. I said "The novel Huckleberry Finn is a warning from the 19th century that the nation is doomed, and the only road to salvation is to strike out for freedom in another place." It immediately went on the attack and attacked me and suggested it could help me achieve a deeper reading more consistent with a different argument. It treated me as if I had never considered other arguments, and very quickly it was adversarial. I felt as if I was doing an assignment, not learning something.

"Thinking is pre-writing: writing is pre-reading." -Note-to-self found in the journal of Robinson Cruesoe.
Another journal note of consequence: "Collect wood. Build fire. Cook food."
Exactly
"They simply needed pathways that honored their strongest intelligences."
When I read I can feel the muscles in my throat twich, writing not so much.
Organization. Some lyrics evolve quickly along with a musical frame.
Some come as poetry and can result in a dozen or more rewrites of words and music.
