A professor of English education at Arizona State University, Jessica Early, says students are using AI to write college application essays because they are not experiencing the joy of writing in school. An essay on Slate discussed how applicants hire editors to make AI-written essays sound more human. Early believes the goal of college admissions essays is for students to share their stories and showcase their writing voice. However, schools often focus on formulaic writing, removing students' opportunities to hone their voice. As a result, students turn to AI for help. Early thinks this is a sad reflection of how writing is taught in schools.
