[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread has gone quiet. Are parents busy getting their children to generate new essays? [/quote]

This thread makes me sad.  My kid spent weeks on her essay(s), refining and editing.  And now authentic essays will mean nothing.

Your kid will be a better writer for the effort, which will be useful wherever she ends up. Granted, it’s nothing like a lot of the stuff she’ll be asked to write, but being able to edit your own work is an important skill to have. [/quote]

What your child wrote is hopefully better than what OP got from the bot.[/quote]

What's really scary is that a lot of parents here are so poorly educated that they think those essays are decent essays.

And these are the boneheads using consultants, test prep and hooks to jam their children into the CMU computer science meat grinder...

:roll: Don't pretend like your snowflake is some kind of literary genius.  These essays ARE good.  The more extensive your parameters (inputs), the more creative it will get.  Just like google search.  About time too.  For far too long we have had to deal with the tyranny of the liberal arts that add close to no value.  Now that a computer can write and paint classics, we just have to wait for robots that emote and act out those classics.. Good times.[/quote]
