  I keep hearing people at my campus in Austin mention EssayBot as if it's no big deal, just another study tool. But when I read about professors at NYU calling it "academic doping," I started wondering where the ethical line is. We pay thousands in tuition to "learn how to think," but does outsourcing essays to AI undermine that? I'm curious-do students today even care about the moral side, or is it just survival mode with insane deadlines and rent costs?

  I've been teaching writing workshops in Chicago for years, and I've seen students using EssayBot https://essaysbot.com/ the way some athletes use painkillers: just to get through the season. On one hand, it saves time, but on the other, it robs you of practice. When Stanford reported that 64% of freshmen admitted to "some form of AI help," I wasn't shocked. The irony? The students who leaned hardest on generators struggled the most in senior year capstones. So it's not about cheating vs. not cheating-it's whether you're okay sabotaging your future self for short-term relief.
