Once upon a time in the vast Australian outback, a dog named Max experienced the thrill of a lifetime. One sunny morning, as Max bounded through the golden grasslands, he spotted a kangaroo in the distance. Without hesitation, Max's instinct kicked in, and he sprinted towards the kangaroo. The kangaroo effortlessly leaped away with a powerful bound. Max was determined and enthusiastic, so he continued to chase the kangaroo, his tongue wagging and tail wagging even faster. The chase continued for hours, with Max gaining and losing ground in a comical dance across the dusty terrain. The kangaroo was intrigued by Max. They hopped and raced, each trying to out manoeuvre the other.

Here are some potential drawbacks of relying on AI for writing. If students rely on AI tools for writing, they may not develop essential writing skills, such as critical thinking, creativity, and the ability to express their own thoughts and ideas effectively. This could hinder their long-term development as writers. Further, AI tools can generate text quickly, making it easier for students to copy and paste content without understanding it or properly citing it. AI-generated content may lack the originality and personal voice that make writing unique. Using AI tools can lead to generic, cookie-cutter writing that lacks depth and authenticity. Writing is a skill that improves with practice and feedback. Relying on AI reduces the opportunities for students to learn from their mistakes and receive constructive feedback from teachers or peers.Bottom of Form
