You can still fake it. Have AI write the essay, you “write” a first draft and simulate edits here and there. You can also prompt AI to writer a first, seomcond, and third draft and detail changes. Then you manually make them.

This is a chance for teaching and grading to change. It needs to as the traditional methods which were failing from budget cuts, overuse of shit tools, etc, weren’t working. Put learning, not evaluation, in the class and you can avoid AI abuse. I am an N of 1, but go grab Frier, read pedagogy of the oppressed, and then start researching contract grading.
