What he had written had personal anecdotes and stories in it but it wasn’t coherent enough and the AI draft had more poignancy, descriptive words, and honestly just tighter writing.
The orig draft was just ok. It sounded unpolished. It’s like an editor took a pen to it.
This took a story, made it poignant and emotional and just tightened it all up. Kid will refit now and add more description and then ask us to edit again.
Let’s see. It actually was really good to get over a writing block/hump.
um no, it’s cheating.

I don’t know about essays but my DS and I were fooling around with LLM generated song lyrics and poems. The AI can rhyme for sure and come up with thematically appropriate words, but the results truly were not that great. They were decent if the assignment was “write a poem” but lacked spark and creativity. So I can believe AI can generate a passing college essay but not an amazing one.

I agree. Need to find some examples to show here.

We are using it a lot at work….it’s the future. The more you use it the better it is. Jacks up productivity.

At least nothing sounding at all like any 17 yr old I ever met would write. Maybe we’re just not elite enough.
No, but it’s likely you don’t know how to train the AI.
It’s not overly complicated but it does require a bit of effort.

Wow, your kid must be a crap writer if an AI generated essay was 'amazing' compared to the draft. Professors are moving toward more in class/proctored assignments and scaffolded projects to identify personal writing styles in an era of AI. You really think that an AI bot is going to beat an experienced professor over the course of a semester?

Congrats! He just gave the website his work and it will be used/replicated.
But agree with PP that you don’t know good writing if you think these things write in a way that will make someone stand out in admissions.

The AI test bot, was the AI authors cousin, so it let the essay slide. You won’t know which AI test bots the schools are using.

The AI version really was better than the human version…it was a “why” essay with a lot of personalization.
I’m just shocked.
Certain you don't know good writing...also suspect there is no "kid."
