Generative AI use in student communication poses risks to skill formation and trust

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A study of twelve students revealed that generative AI is frequently used to draft professional communications, particularly emails to instructors and administrators where the pressure to appear professional is highest. Students utilized AI for tasks ranging from minor text corrections to composing entire messages, evaluating the AI's output based on its perceived artificiality and its alignment with their personal writing style. This delegation process bypasses the learning loop typically involved in skill development, potentially hindering the formation of individual writing capabilities and eroding trust and authenticity in communication. AI

IMPACT May hinder the development of essential professional communication skills and impact the authenticity of student-faculty interactions.
