Do You Think AI Writing Makes Learning Easier or Harder?

I was helping a cousin with his college work, and it struck me how different things are now compared to when I studied. He was using tools like ChatGPT, MyEssayWriter.ai, and PerfectEssayWriter.ai to brainstorm ideas and clean up his drafts. At first, I thought it might just make things “too easy,” but watching him use them was eye-opening.

He had a research paper where he just couldn’t figure out how to start. ChatGPT gave him a rough outline, then he wrote the main body himself. Later, he ran the draft through MyEssayWriter.ai to catch grammar mistakes, and even checked citations with PerfectEssayWriter.ai. The final work was his own, but the AI saved him hours of staring at a blank page.

Of course, I can also see the downside if someone leans too much on these tools, they might skip the actual learning part. Writing is a skill you only improve by practicing.

What do you think? Do AI writing tools make learning easier by removing stress, or harder because they tempt students to take shortcuts?
