And at the time it was true.
If all the knowledge you have in your society can be memorized and recited, writing it down means it can be changed.
On the other hand, if you have a society where you know of that there are over 500,000 types of beetles, it might be a better idea to come up with a way to record that information without memorization.
Just because an idea is new/old doesn't mean it's good/bad.
Things have to be judged on their own merits.
Writing allows you to devote more of your mental faculties to other things. Couldn't the same be true of AI-assisted writing?
This is the point I'm trying to make (but apparently not very well)!
I see no advantage to students using AI and many problems.
Unless and until I see an advantage to a new tech, I hold my reserve. Obviously, a typewriter will give you better copy than a quill pen, and a word processor beats both.
But all three of those require the writer to come up with their own ideas.
