AI isn't replacing student writing, but it is reshaping it
- Students and writers increasingly use AI tools like ChatGPT for writing, revising, and exploring ideas as of early 2025.
- This rise follows the release of ChatGPT in late 2022 and reflects a broader shift as students seek ways to engage AI intentionally in their writing process.
