On today's FundaYao Podcast, we interview Steve McClure, a former Wuhan University English editor and instructor who taught scientific writing and methodology after a sociology/GIS background led him to editing Chinese students’ papers and moving from the US to Wuhan University. They discuss how AI tools like ChatGPT can speed up drafting by handling grammar and structure, but cannot replace human thinking, argument development, or coherent literature review integration, and may produce low-level, subjective, jargon-heavy text unless carefully prompted and edited. Steve notes stigma toward AI use in the US versus greater openness in China, alongside concerns about data centers and job impacts. He highlights common rejection causes: unclear thesis/argument, lack of innovation, excessive jargon, and poor presentation and interpretation of tables/figures, emphasizing concise, reader-focused writing.
