19-Mar-2025 Experts from NJIT, Carnegie Mellon find the pen is mightier than the data New Jersey Institute of Technology Plenty of researchers already study how to tell if online writing bears the traits of artificial intelligence — but Michael Laudenbach, at NJIT’s Jordan Hu College of Science and Liberal Arts, is studying what traits indicate that digital prose was crafted by analog humans. The risk of not knowing the difference is that if instructors and business managers too openly adopt AI writing tools, then children and college students might wrongly learn that AI writing is good writing, Laudenbach said. Even though some people are bad writers, at least what they’re writing is their original thoughts.
