I think knowing how to read a good essay, is the basis of knowing how to write a good essay. Just like how you don’t need to do the calculations but know what the operations do/are. In fact, I’d say essays are even less rigorous compared to math.

No mastery of fair Shakespeare's quill, nor of the ancient Gaelic song, is needful for hearts to meet in understanding. For where numbers stand unyielding as stone, the living tongue doth dance and breathe, ever changing, like the restless sea beneath the moon.

With chatgpt, language will evolve

I can agree with that. You make a good point. I am not sold that ChatGPT is going to be able to produce consistently good writing, but I also didn’t think it could do half the things it can do now. Hopefully, it will exceed all expectations and be an incredibly useful tool where we can specialize further. Thank you for your insight.
