How to Improve Your Writing with AI
Using AI as a sparring partner for your prose — not as a ghostwriter, but as a tireless reviewer.
What you'll learn
- AI as reviewer vs ghostwriter
- Sentence-level feedback
- Argument-level feedback
- Maintaining your voice
The mistake most students make
Letting AI rewrite your prose strips it of your voice. The fix: ask AI to identify issues, fix them yourself.
