Is it OK to use Chat GPT to answer parent questionnaires on admission forms?

DS is at a K-8 and is applying to 6 different high schools for 9th grade. Every school has 2-3 essay prompts for parents and it's becoming exhausting to answer every single one of them. We know what to say, but it would be nice to use AI to present our thoughts in a nice and polished way, especially that DH and I are not native English speakers.
Is this acceptable?

No.

Personally I think they sound more authentic when you write them in your own unpolished voice.

Sorry, but the answer is no. I doubt any school would notice if you used it to check for typos but I can spot an AI generated paragraph a mile away.

[Anonymous]

I would not.

[Anonymous]

i would say use it to give you ideas of how to structure what you want to say but then change the words around.

You will sound like you used ChatGPT. Do you want to sound like you used ChatGpT?

[Anonymous]

Word will fix spelling and make grammar suggestions on your draft.

[Anonymous]

Use Grammerly if you want a little polish but not ChatGPT.

[Anonymous]

Sure, lots of people use it to get through writer's block. You could use it in a similar way.

[Anonymous]

Your grammar here seems fine.

[Anonymous]

I wouldn't. It always has a fake feeling about it.

[Anonymous]

I wouldn’t recommend it.

Well it will tell them that the kid applying is coming from a family of lazy people and is likely to cheat and be an embarrassment. But maybe it is good to get that out there early.

I wouldn't. It never sounds quite natural, it's sort of forced cheerfulness that sounds fake. I would use Grammarly and ask a friend to review it.

You'd be better off being someone who writes in English pretty well even though it's not your first language-- Americans are often impressed when non-native speakers have good English skills and see no need for perfection.
