Abstract

This paper examines how AI is transforming English writing from a mere tool to an active collaborator, based on analysis of 47 recent studies (2021-2025). The research particularly investigates AI’s dual role: in creative contexts, it serves as a partner that enhances narrative development. Three major shifts emerge from our analysis. First, AI is redistributing access to writing capabilities while potentially diminishing cultural diversity in outputs. Second, the traditional authority of human writers is being reconfigured as hybrid human-AI teams demonstrate superior linguistic accuracy, though this raises complex questions about authorship. The study applies Bourdieu’s field theory to show how AI’s capacity for error detection creates new forms of cultural capital in writing. These transformations highlight the urgent need for frameworks that develop critical AI literacy, especially to address problems like fabricated citations and unoriginal creative content.
