[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can't believe people are suggesting using AI! Why bother sending your kids to college at all if you encourage them to check out their brains before they even got through the door?[/quote]

I suggested seeing what AI puts out for a similar exercise AFTER the essay is written.

AI wil provide averagely polished, generic, and occasionally wrong adult-voice answers.

You can evaluate this to determine if your kid's work has been genericized and sounds too adult (the original question).

The other thing it might do is help identify some parts of the story/structure that are not present in the kid's own work.

As a teen, when writing to persuade, I affected a wordy, academic, long paragraph style that mimicked what I read.  It's been hard to train myself out of it.

I think people learn best by comparing writing samples.

I do not think people should use AI to create the base of their essays.  Although others do disagree.[/quote]

Are you suggesting inputting the kid’s essay into AI? Won’t that trigger some sort of plagiarism tracker if it’s now in the public domain?[/quote]

No...here is an example...ask it...

"Write me an essay about a dog riding a surfboard on a bioluminescent bay in Puerto Rico"

Then you see what it comes up with.

Huh. I think that would be a shitty impersonal essay. I don’t know how that’s helpful in this situation.[/quote]
