What are the Benefits of Generative AI for Academic Writing? | Paperpal

Many people have a love-hate relationship with using AI for writing.

On one hand, they marvel at its efficiency, but on the other hand, they feel the output lacks soul.

So here’s the question: how can we make AI-assisted writing truly helpful?

Let’s dive into this topic today.

The Deep Wells and Shallow Waters of AI

The biggest risk of using AI for writing lies in two extremes: the "deep well" and the "shallow water."

What is the "deep well"?

It’s when people find AI so convenient that they throw all the content creation tasks at it and let it generate an entire piece automatically.

The result? The logic might seem fine, but every word feels like stagnant water—lifeless and uninspiring.

What about the "shallow water"?

This is the opposite, where people underestimate AI’s capabilities, using it only to write headings or craft a sentence or two, failing to leverage its full potential.

In the end, the tool isn’t used effectively, and the person’s efforts are wasted.

Why does this happen?

Because most people haven’t figured out the strengths and weaknesses of AI.

If you can’t use the tool properly, how can you expect excellent results?

How to Master AI Writing

To use AI effectively, remember one core principle: Take control of the big picture.

Here are some tips that might help.
