Kuang\, the acclaimed #1 New York Times bestsellin g author of Katabasis and Yellowface\, comes a wryly humorous and profo undly moving coming-of-age novel that grapples with grief\, language\, and culture shock—all set against the backdrop of an unforgettable summer i n Taipei. College freshman Lily Chen is off to spend the summer in Taipei at an intensive language program like so many Chinese American students be fore her\, hoping to connect with the culture she inherited but never full y understood. But a promising start quickly unravels. Her classes are grue ling\, her roommate is driving her insane\, and a reckless trip to the hot springs with a guy she barely knows soon has her classmates viciously gos siping. She feels adrift\, a foreigner in a country she thought would feel like home. Then shocking news arrives: Lily’s grandfather has passed aw ay. The loss forces her to grapple with now-unanswerable questions about h er family history. As Lily grieves\, she’s drawn into a journey of self- discovery—piecing together memories\, stories\, and silences over a seri es of hilarious and devastating attempts at connection. Taipei Story ask s: What if the diaspora fantasy of homecoming never comes true? What if le arning a language can’t bring you any closer to the people you’re tryi ng to reach? What if you search for your family’s history\, but your fam ily doesn’t want to share? What if you wait too long to ask the right qu estions? As Lily struggles for answers\, her summer becomes a poignant sea rch for understanding—of herself\, her family\, and the meaning of home.

But what do students really think about t hese tools\, and about their own writing? In this talk\, I share findings from a large-scale survey (n=342) of University of Illinois undergraduates conducted in spring 2026. These students occupy a unique moment in histor y: they learned to write before GenAI existed\, which makes them well posi tioned to compare their own abilities to a machine’s. The results may su rprise you. Students report high familiarity with AI but lukewarm trust. N early half of humanities students say they never use these tools at all\, while business and STEM students use and trust them the most. When asked t o compare their writing to GenAI\, students overwhelmingly judged their ow n work superior\, insisting that their ideas are better. Along the way\, s peaker John Gallagher discusses research that shows GenAI erodes writing a bility over time by making us less persistent. Whether you use AI every da y\, avoid it entirely\, or simply wonder what it means for how we write an d think\, this conversation is for you.\n\n \n\nThis talk is part of WRAP ‘s series on AI and writing\, supported by a SHASS MITHIC grant.\n\n \n\ nJohn Gallagher is a Professor of English and Faculty Affiliate at the Sch ool of Information Sciences at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign \, where he researches AI writing\, social media habits\, and methods that combine qualitative and quantitative techniques. He is the author of four books\, including AI Though the Experts’ Eyes\, available from the Univ ersity of Pittsburgh Press in September. In addition to student use of Gen AI\, his current projects include studies of participation inequality in o nline communities (a select few actually participate online) with implicat ions for LLM training data.
