This was a fascinating read and I was literally compelled to read the whole thing. You make excellent points on all fronts. I still remember with embarrassment the first draft of my application essay to get into journalism school. SO BAD.

Thanks for reading! I went back in and added a sentence about the college admissions using the essay as a way to get deeper insight into the applicant, not an A.I. But it's a relief that you enjoyed it as it's the longest newsletter I've written by thousands of words...most of them mine. :)
