Why are students using AI for essays and what are the impacts on authentic expression Why have I stopped using Grammarly for my creative writing? The irony of what it takes to have a unique authentic report from the system. Why are teachers and academics positively correcting essays generated by AI? It brings into question what skills we are not teaching students and why are the pressures so high at certain points in the academic year?

It's because of the intention behind the attention.
