    Did you read the OP? The point is, writing pages of bullshit is how you get better at writing. It’s like saying “Oh yeah I don’t want to do all these bullshit exercises at the gym too build muscle I should just sit at home and let a robot do them for me” the whole point is building the skill not producing the assignment.

      Yes I read it, and what I am saying is that modern day users don’t need to be able to write bullshit because of all the advances in technology.

      Give purposeful assignment instead. You still get people to write and they learn something as well. 2 birds with 1 stone.

      It is like forcing students to come to school using a steam train because they will know how to keep a steam engine working so it makes them better at shoveling.

        The ability to construct a logical argument is useful not just for communicating with others, but also for structuring your own thoughts.

          It’s also useful for learning. Turns out writing stuff down makes stuff go into your memory better.
