Dear ChatGPT - Please pretend I'm a rich, white man when you're writing my college admissions essay for me, thanks, Signed - A Poor

I wish this was a thing when I was writing application essays. They’re a great example of virtually meaningless content that needs to fit a certain shape.

LLMs are great at generating exactly this type of garbage.

Even before AIs, essays seemed meaningless to me. I wasn't sure if they were, or I just didn't get it, but the former is looking more likely now.
