I'd love to see much more diverse selection of schools. All of these schools are extremely selective so you are looking at extremely selective slice of the population.

Is your hypothesis that very smart people are much, much less likely to be able to remember quotes from essays they wrote with LLM assistance than dumber people.

I wouldn’t bet on that being the case.

No, my hypothesis is this is happening to people at very selective school, the damage it's doing at less selective schools is much much greater.
