Do We Still Need to Learn Writing with AI?

Many people have asked me this question.

Yes, AI can now generate an article in seconds, and it’s often pretty decent.

But if you truly want to become a writer, **you still need to hone your fundamentals.**

What’s the most essential writing skill?

First, it’s reading.

Immerse yourself in words daily—read great articles, and explore various books.

You need to understand how different authors organize their language, craft engaging stories, and convey ideas clearly.

This is something AI can’t do for you.

When it comes to reading, I strongly recommend beginners start with relatable works.

For instance, learn from Sanmao's detailed and vivid style, Liang Shiqiu's humor and wit, or the wisdom and precision in Yang Jiang's writing.

The more you read, the better you'll understand what makes a good article.

But reading alone isn’t enough—you need to write.

And here, AI can be a great help.

Many struggle with not knowing what to write about, especially beginners who often feel their lives lack material.

This is where AI can solve the "I don't know what to write" problem:

Prompt:

"Act as a writing expert and design a 30-day progressive daily writing exercise for beginners.

Requirements:

1. Each topic should be specific and relatable.

2. Start with 200 words and gradually increase the word count.

3. Provide detailed scenarios for each topic.

4. Include writing tips on each topic.

5. Focus on narrative topics to make it easier for beginners to start."

Now that you have topics, many might get stuck on how to write.
