Can GenAI Boost Writing Scores? Another Robust Bayesian Meta-Analysis (RoBMA) of Writing Ability

A new meta-analysis (Teng, 2026) has shown that genAI has a strong impact on writing with similar effects as another recent meta-analysis (Dong, 2026). The current analysis instead shows a much weaker effect after correcting for entry errors and heterogeneity.

Abstract

A new meta-analysis (Teng, 2026) has shown that genAI has a strong impact on writing with similar effects as another recent meta-analysis (Dong, 2026). The current analysis instead shows a much weaker effect after correcting for entry errors and heterogeneity.
