[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am wondering now however if there is really a difference between a poor kid using AI to edit their essay and a wealthy kid paying an expensive college consultant for significant help with brainstorming ideas, editing etc. Maybe all the people railing against AI are the wealthy parents who are concerned about the leveling of the playing field and the fact that their money now buys less of an advantage.

There is not which is why colleges are now allowing it.  They realize the hypocrisy of wealthy kids having highly paid consultants "heavily editing" their essays, but then trying to ding a poor kid for generative AI.

That said...why don't colleges ask people to check a box if they paid a 3rd party consultant to help with an application?[/quote]

Seriously? What about:

English teachers who have the kids write and then get help editing during class.

Kids who get free SAT prep (some schools do this)

Kids who get a PSAT 9 or a mid week psat chances (like Sidwell), etc.
