Abstract
In this chapter, the authors discuss the relationship between time poverty, creativity, and Large Language Models of AI (LLMs) or Generative AI technologies in the writing classroom, including ChatGPT and GenAI software in word processors such as Microsoft Word. Through examples of writing provided by ChatGPT, a student profile, and comparative analysis of writing provided by two LLMs, they make an argument that LLMs should be integrated into the writing classroom in order to offer students who suffer from time poverty the ability to practice creativity in their writing which they may struggle to achieve when limited to the time they can devote to their classwork. Specifically, they explore how ChatGPT can support students in the writing process, including researching, pre-writing, writing, revision, and reflection in order to foster creativity in their writing.
