In the age of AI-generated text, speech may become more important again. For centuries, writing dominated how we communicate and think, shaped by structure, standardisation and prestige. But as AI floods the world with text, spoken language stands out as something more human, more immediate and harder to replicate authentically. As technology reshapes language, we may rediscover a simple truth. If we want to understand thinking, we may need to listen, not just read. https://t.co/0ECXpsU9aY @ConversationEDU @ConversationUS
