I'm more concerned that we would see these essays _not_ being graded
by systems.
I can't imagine teachers reading through essay after essay, each a
tedious cookie-cutter nugget of banal pseudo-perfection. The teachers
will give up in no time.
There would be no point giving feedback, since it is not the student
to who you are giving it. Likewise, the students would have little
interest in feedback, since they have no personal ego investment in
their output.
Besides the best essays will be generated by those with access to the
better generative software. At this point there is simply nothing to
grade. What would be the point?
Once essay writing and grading bots are locked in combat it's only a
matter of time until that market exhausts itself and disappears in a
puff of logic.
Maybe this is all a good thing. The process of writing and grading
essays as a way of "measuring" knowledge has been a sham for too long.
It's a throwback to school from the turn of the last century.
