Integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) into education, namely writing classes offers promising avenues for upgrading education outcomes. This paper investigates the advantages and challenges associated with implementing AI tools in writing lesson. By employing a mixed methods approach, we analyze the experiences of students in utilizing AI-generated writing technologies. To carry out this scientific research we also used qualitative data approach by analyzing previous studies and we collected data regarding the potential benefits of AI-driven writing tools and problems that students face during utilization of AI. The findings of the study highlight the multifaceted advantaged of AI, including personalized feedback, real-time support, improved writing fluency, automated grading system of AI, and increased engagement. However, the study shows that challenges, such as ethical concerns, over-reliance on AI, privacy concerns, algorithmic biases, and technological limitations also emerge. Through a comprehensive examination of these factors, this research contributes to a deeper understanding of the complexities surrounding AI integration in writing education and provides insights for effective implementation strategies.
