āA bottleneck of writing is sentence generationāgetting ideas into sentencesā¦That is a big task. That part is really costly in terms of cognitive load.ā
The professors call their approach ārestrained generative AI,ā and theyāve already built a prototype software tool that is being piloted in 10 courses at the university this semester.
why would I want students editing my writing anyway?
The language of bottlenecks and costs... they're really trying to enclose every damn thing.
