[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How could you be sure that the data you uploaded to these AI tools are not "shared" by others.  AI tools are learning from you too, and your idea (if any or no matter how tiny) will be learned by AI and will be provided to other users.  I would stay away from it.  [/quote]

That's such an antiquated way of viewing the post-AI world. Everything is being shared. 
Your kid's essays aren't (1) that special or usually even that distinguishable, and (2) likely used by ANY college counselor that you hire or essay editor.

If that's your stance, make sure you don't hire anyone for any part of this.

The reality is that the essays will become less important. It's more about your overall story. Themes that emerge that fit a specific school (not talking about classes or professors). How your application is boiled down to a sentence or two (Lee Coffin had a GREAT episode this spring where he talked just about this).
I do think the LOR has (already) become MUCH more important.
