Abstract	The concept 'literacy crisis' has framed ChatGPT's popularity, its rapid evolution, and its seemingly sophisticated language and knowledge performance. The concept helps scholars and teachers easily enter conversations about artificial intelligence (AI) text generation technologies and how they transform the notions of authorship, research, labor, copyright, and writing. Antonio Byrd uses the literacy crisis as a starting point in this essay but in the opposite direction. By responding to literacy crises with a back-to-basics pedagogy, composition studies has participated in histories of linguistic punishment that have shaped how writers produce, edit, and publish texts; these punishments create the presence of power and ideology in the corpus texts large language models (LLMs) use for training. While learning new literacy practices and teaching strategies with LLMs, there is also the responsibility for participating in the creation of the next iteration of public data that contain contemporary ideologies on language and culture. AI and writing involve critical inquiry on relationships with these corpus texts. Integrating this critical inquiry may maximize students' writing practices with AI and extend their rhetorical awareness of what's at stake when they go public with their writing to participate in cultural and political conversations.
