WATCH THIS BEFORE You Write with AI — with Elizabeth Wardle

EP64: WATCH THIS BEFORE You Write with AI — with Elizabeth Wardle

 

What is writing really for—and what happens when we outsource it?

In this eye-opening episode, Sara Connell sits down with Elizabeth Wardle—Distinguished Professor, Writing Expert, and Director of the Howe Center for Writing Excellence—to talk about the future of writing, AI, and why the way we teach and create needs to evolve fast.

We explore the true purpose of writing in a world where AI is rapidly replacing human expression—and what it really costs when we give it all away to the machines.

You’ll hear:

• Why “play it through to the hangover” applies to AI-generated writing
• What students and writers actually need to learn
• How to stop policing and start teaching better writing
• Why not all “problems” AI solves are real
• The powerful reason we should keep writing ourselves

If you care about education, creativity, connection—or you’re using AI in your business—this episode is your reminder to pause, question, and lead with intention.
