[quote=Anonymous]Think a lot of the advice here is true - esp for some of these AI essays here:

https://www.reddit.com/r/ApplyingToCollege/comments/1pac92c/will_ai_essays_be_genuine_competition/

"Use AI the way you’d use an experienced college counselor. You don’t want the counselor to write the essay for you, and the same goes for AI. You want your counselor to help you brainstorm and advise you on structure, flow, and word choice, so you can use AI in that way. AI can significantly help those students who are not able to afford private college counselors. But for sure. you should be knowledgeable enough to tell whether what AI tells you is valuable advice or just trash."

"People who purely used AI on their essay is no competition (obviously but let's be honest, no one uses pure AI). A decent chunk of people might AI an essay, maybe type a paragraph or two on their own, ask the AI to sound more human, etc. That still is probably not a huge competition.

Essays that are mostly AI are easy to tell that its AI. AOs' jobs are to read essays; they can probably distinguish between essays that are mostly Ai and essays that aren't. Now here's the news. Times are changing, and you have to adapt.

The competition you should be worried out for is people who wrote their essay and used AI to receive feedback and polish it through AI. The type of students who know when to stop using AI to prevent over polish.

One way I've heard someone use AI creatively is by asking it to imitate a devil's advocate, or a genius rival that hates your guts and wants to rip your essay to shreds. People who can already write good essays will only write better ones with the continuation of AI. You kind of just have to accept this and be one of those students.

So yes, AI is genuine competition. A lot (if not most) student writers, good or bad, use AI. Learn to compete with it, or get left in the dust."[/quote]
