Many writers work hard to craft a distinctive voice. But what happens to voice in an age of generative AI? In this course, we will consider how technologies of writing have intersected with the politics of language in the past. Then we will examine how generative AI is impacting language today, experimenting with different AI tools to better understand what they can - and can?t - do for us as writers. Along the way, we?ll have opportunities to play with our own writing and learn about campus resources that support student writers.
