I do so love this idea of using manual #typewriters as a way for students to understand life before our computers (and before #AI ) -

College instructor turns to typewriters to curb AI-written work
Once a semester, a Cornell University instructor requires her students to complete an in-class assignment using typewriters — an exercise to help them understand what writing, thinking and classrooms were like before everything turned digital. The exercise started in 2023, as Grit Mathias Phelps grew frustrated that her German language students were using generative AI and online translation platforms to churn out grammatically perfect assignments. The revival is part of a national trend towa…

Screenshot from this article: https://xeiaso.net/blog/2026/ai-abstraction/ full text: I'm going to keep talking to you as an equal. It's the most effective part of my style: I write like I'm sitting across from you, not lecturing down at you. Generative AI defaults to the authoritative explainer voice — the one that sounds like every other. Resisting that pull now takes conscious effort. Aoi: So the tools are making it harder to sound like yourself? Cadey: Not harder exactly. More like... the…
