Writing in this AI Era with John Warner

Today’s conversation features John Warner, author of the new book More Than Words: How to Think About Writing in the Age of AI—a book that explores how ChatGPT and other large language models force us to reconsider what writing means in education and, more broadly, in society overall. (Also: this conversation ends with one of our favorite ever shout-out’s to a former teacher since starting this podcast—so make sure not to miss it!)

You can follow more of John’s writing at either of his Substack newsletters, Engaged Education or The Biblioracle Recommends; additionally, if you’re looking to learn more his ideas about how to improve writing in the classroom, you definitely should check out his two previous books, too: Why They Can’t Write and The Writer’s Practice.

Thanks, as always, to:

Alberto Lugo, one of Jim’s former students, for writing and recording original intro music; Tom Csatari for allowing us to use his band’s recording of “Woodstock” from their 2020 album, Garden; and Courtney Milavec for graphic design.

Find Tom’s work at uncivilizedtom.com, and on Instagram @banduncivilized.
