[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]chatgpt is ridiculously good - just watching sam altman this am on the enhancements and I decided to put in “college essay” 500 word prompt about nature impacting and shaping my life.  The result was so insanely thoughtful and authentic it’s kinda scary.  time to eliminate the essay, zero protection against this - although it does level the playing field where poor inner city kid can compete with Biff from Great Falls[/quote]

AI filters exist. Colleges use them for assignments. Do they use them for admissions? [/quote]

Yes, Slate runs the whole thing through. But it’s an upgrade to the product so not all schools have it.

Beware. Proceed cautiously.

Use paid AI to help brainstorm. But don’t just paste it into the common app. Even for the activities descriptions - it’s so blatant what is AI when you read 300 essays.

For more evidence, go to Reddit. The kids there are pasting AI gibberish. An AO just passes over you if there are “signs”. [/quote]
