Generative artificial intelligence is reshaping how universities think about teaching writing. Some scholars across the nation have even called for eliminating the near-universal first-year composition course, or FYC, claiming that the skills around which it typically centers — namely grammar, structure and research — can now be so easily offloaded to AI that there is no longer any real human need for them. Indeed, no discipline, department or institution can be fully equipped to handle and adapt to the changes posed by AI models’ rapidly expanding capabilities. In the case of the University’s own FYC — dubbed the ENWR, or English Writing requirement — it is certainly true that students could rely on AI to complete at least some of their coursework.
