In this video, Victor Tan tries to write every single UChicago essay prompt with the OpenAI ChatGPT software!
I'm not actually applying to college, but there's plenty of hype about ChatGPT's ability to write awesome pieces of writing, and I thought that there was no better way to put its abilities to the limit than making use of Chicago's famously weird essay prompts!
In case you want to look at the individual essay prompts, here are the time stamps:
1:45 - Question 1: Why UChicago Essay
4:43 - Question 2: Palindrome Essay
6:06 - Question 2: Wisdom Tooth Essay
6:58 - Question 2: Martian Essay
8:46 - Question 2: Nobel Prize Essay
10:20 - Question 2: Historical Figure + Object Essay
11:40 - Question 2: Choose Your Own Prompt Essay
I'm not actually applying to college, nor do I recommend that you make use of ChatGPT to write your Common App/Supplement college essays (more about this later!) but I'm making this from the POV of a technology enthusiast who believes that AI is going to change the world, but wants to be securely aware of what it can and can't do. Have fun!
