I was feeling pretty dispirited in the midst of a literature review on automatic essay scoring systems (👎), but this paper on an ✨ adversarial essay writing contest ✨ fooling the scoring system totally made my day. doi.org/10.1002/j.2333

Oh my goodness I didn't even know you could automatically score an essay and now as a student that makes me somewhat upset but as a programmer somewhat elated... 😣🤔

Per the paper, you can automatically score an essay, but that doesn't mean the score is helpful.

I'm worried of the implications in other tests in the future. Have you heard of CASPer? It's an ethics test medical schools now require for applicants. I'd rather not have a future where I'm scored automatically and given an "ethical score"... 😣
