I love the OP's example when asked about this. I can't imagine this would pass even in say, a high school level course. Maybe as nonsense daily homework where the teacher just wants you to define random terms, but as a proper essay? Hell no

Imagine some :sicko-zoomer: using AIDungeon to try to fill out a vapid homework essay and then the teacher reads about Count Grey smirking, ripping out throats, then laughing and applauding himself.
"Why does this essay about Ancient Greece turn into erotic fanfiction and then a depressed vent post?"

"So it was just Dwarf Fortress?" :astronaut-2: "Always was." :astronaut-1:
Dwarf Fortress tried having economic simulators in it, but undead creatures would eventually own everything and that stopped being fun for most. :thinking-about-it:
Before vampires were added dwarves would obsessively count coins and become homeless despite there being empty beds available because of rent and shit. People turned the economy off.
Also, if you got a noble or king it was always good practice to squash him with the drawbridge atomizer or drown him because they'd ruin everything hy demanding increasingly bizarre ostentatious shit lol
:marx-hi:
Oh yeah, and getting a noble was what activated the economy too! I forgot about that. Toady turned it off as a feature because it was just too annoying.
Toady in that moment: :mao-aggro-shining:
It's still good practice to do that. The only valuable leadership position in dwarf society afaik is the mayor, who is elected based on their charisma and can help reduce unhappiness by giving unhappy dwarves someone to complain to, and of course the appointed bureaucrats that do all of the paperwork.
The old "vampire accountant with perfect psychic knowledge of the entire fortress's inventory despite being locked in a windowless room with a ledger" trick./
Even assuming you could get it to write an adequate amount of content and design believable sections, I really doubt this would fool many teachers. Here's another example that just doesn't feel like a human wrote it in any capacity:

It really does read exactly like those content farm sites that exist solely to game the search results and get ad revenue. I think the only way it could fool a teacher is if their standards were nearly to the floor after years of grading essays from students who hadn't been taught basic writing skills, such that they were basically passing anyone who manages to stay on topic and whose sentences have subjects and predicates. And from what I hear this is often the case.
Eh, unfortunately I feel like I would've written this back in middle school as I was really disengaged from everything we were being taught and would've just regurgitated a bunch of factoids I would've read on the internet.
in high school the teachers would probably get suspicious about a student who doesent engage getting straight A's. In college it wouldn't be up to scratch
That would get an A in american high or a C-B in comm college. Its really incredible that this reads like a lot of papers I've read.
If I were doing this as a high schooler (I'm not denying I might've for some assignments) I'd do it a couple sentences at a time, like, give it a topic sentence and kind of fill in the blanks for the rest of the paragraph. Especially if it were common core garbage. Sort of like using it as like autocomplete or something.
That would save me time & make it easier to start and focus on assignments, but still end up outputting a very reasonable essay
for the amount of work it would take to get that to be any good for an A in college, you might as well just do it the right way
