Learning to Think By Learning to Write

Looking back on my own schooling I know how much I learned from the process of having to research material and organize my thoughts about it required by an assignment to produce a thesis-centered paper. In fact, it taught me that thinking is central to the writing process, so much so that when I got around to writing a book about composition it was on the thought process that I centered it.

Today, with students, and even scholars and scientists, counting on chatbots to generate content in this manner I suspect that that kind of training is a lot less likely to happen.

What do you think?
