Gen Z to AI: Organize My Notes, Don’t Write Them
Notability back-to-school survey finds handwriting is better than AI for note-taking
Forty-seven percent of U.S. students prefer AI to help organize their notes rather than create them, according to a back-to-school survey commissioned by Notability, the award-winning note-taking app.
Just 13% of the more than 500 high school and college students surveyed said that they want AI to write notes for them, with 21% viewing AI as a distraction from their learning. The results, collected from a survey fielded in July, reveal that students see AI as a study partner, not a ghostwriter.
“Most students don’t want AI to do the work. They want it to make their own work usable,” said Notability CEO Fred Mitchell. “Notability is built for exactly that.”
