You'll find some paragraphs are half written by Ai and some written totally by me. It's heavily edited from its original form (as it was a data report by codex on our db) - but some paragraphs which were good enough stayed.
E.g. Contrast my human written paragraph vs the AI written first paragraph
Human written:
"The three most popular AI models used by college students are ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude. As of August 2026 the data on StudyArena shows they prefer Gemini.
"
vs
AI Written "Most AI comparsions are written like wine reviews. Claude is subtle. ChatGPT is dependable.."
Students do have different incentives in writing than SWE's. There's the habit of reaching word counts for assignments, some social signalling of how intellgent you are with essay length etc.
The data we have is just there to compare for the student base. I'd love to try it out on other cohorts - but the acquisition of such users and the product to make them happy is hard to achieve!
Interestingly, the smartest students I've worked with do use AI - but more in the sense that AI is a good comparison tool and a good bottom ceiling of the quality of work they should bring in.
Lots of research shows being able to see different answers improves the quality of a student's output - especially as the good ones are able to pick out what's good from the other work and then add their own insights or takes on top.
