The people who are using it to do their essays probably wouldn’t have written particularly scintillating essays

tbf, i would imagine that most students weren’t writing particularly scintillating essays anyway even before AI—almost all of my papers were started the night before they were due, and i only started my fucking masters thesis the week before it was due lmao, and i know a fair chunk of my year was similar (although maybe not to quite the same degree). i still scored well, because it was never about being considered or clever or what have you, it was about being able to sound like you understand the fundemental science and hitting the rubric. none of the essays were actually pleasant or insightful to read.

hell it even applies before university; i went to a hardcore nerd school and they didn’t teach us any of the material particularly hard, they went over that once, but then all the study sessions and exam prep and drills were about teaching us the mark scheme. thats what matters and an AI can probably do the same thing pretty easily if you set up properly.
