In this paper, I discuss the importance of the bodily experience and of the sociopolitical dimension of the embodied experience in writing related to multicultural minorities. I problematise the place of generative artificial intelligence (AI), particularly ChatGPT, in the production of texts that reflect political topics and experiences of multicultural, minoritized groups. In some such instances, writing is the process, product and reflection of lived experiences of political struggle and emotional pain. However, when text is produced by AI to foreground these issues from a seemingly personal stance, it becomes depoliticised, disembodied, and artificial. The main aim of this paper is to reflect on how educators can honour and safeguard the experiences of minoritized groups when generative AI is increasingly used to write texts. A tentative taxonomy of writing that differentiates generative AI-based scaffolding from simulation of voice – which can lead to epistemic mimicry – is provided.
