[quote=Anonymous]This is about two things that this generation has had to deal with: COVID and AI.

This generation of kids lost one to two key socializing years, locked up in their homes and staring at classmates through a pane of glass. None of that is a critique of the difficult choices people made at the time; regardless of how you feel that was all handled, the fact is that students had fewer opportunities to interact in the real world with peers, adults, society at large, etc. So I can understand why schools would want a way to suss out whether the students they’re considering were able to overcome that friction in development.

Second, AI. If I can prompt engineer my way in 30 seconds to having an LLM write my essay, there’s no guarantee I actually know how to engage with new ideas, or apply critical thinking, or empathetically hear a counterargument, or evolve my thinking. So I can understand why schools would want a way to assess that.

I’m not saying that any of the specific platforms are the right way to go about addressing these specific dynamics, but I get why colleges would feel the need for some new tools as they select their next classes.[/quote]
