In an examination of thousands of human-written college admissions essays and those generated by AI, researchers found that the AI-generated essays are most similar to essays authored by students who are males, with higher socioeconomic status and higher levels of social privilege. The AI-generated writing is also less varied than that written by humans.

      I wish this was a thing when I was writing application essays. They’re a great example of virtually meaningless content that needs to fit a certain shape.

      LLMs are great at generating exactly this type of garbage.

        Even before AIs, essays seemed meaningless to me. I wasn’t sure if they were, or I just didn’t get it, but the former is looking more likely now.
