I think of it more from the writer's perspective. In my experience, a large number of people shy away from writing anything because they feel they cannot write in a way that makes them sound smart. (And if they're not smart, they believe the recipient will not be interested in helping them.) I think there's value in tech companies helping people overcome that fear.

I think you've found a legitimate use for this. (As a stopgap measure, for better education.)

Sadly, I don't think that will be the majority of the use.

Also, if this were the target use case, the use case could be adapted to the larger problem of tutoring/coaching feedback, to help the person learn and improve, not "write my essay for me, I don't much care what it says, just make me look smart".
