In college I used to help friends fix their essays. We'd go through line by line and examine if the actual words on the page were clear and said what they intended. All of them wound up getting As on the second draft and every essay thereafter. It was just about learning how to look at the problem.
We live in a world of emails and slacks and documents and text messaging. Literacy matters. Writing clearly matters.
What I would actually do with this is not use GPT to write your essay, but have GPT write a flawed essay and ask the students to rewrite it. Fix the logical fallacies, tighten the language, check the facts, etc.

There is also benefit in the opposite - automating your editorial role. Have the student write an ok essay, then rerun in through the AI to clarify, or to raise questions about ambiguity, word choices, general background knowledge assumptions, etc ...
In practice I expect both styles will be be used to produce superior human-augmented writing.
