As the Speech from the Throne said, the "require more detail in essays" provision seems to have flopped because they just plug something into ChatGPT that tells us what we want to hear. And "poking" prospectives to rewrite wasn't as successful as I've hoped. (I wonder whether you guys noticed that I've more or less stopped trying, lol.)
So I think there's just going to have to be a better screen, which I provisionally want to be a small (5-10?) multiple choice question test which can be answered by reading talossa.com.
And: I'm going to suggest a basic screen should be fill out your application in English or Talossan. Some AI is good and free, for example, Google Translate.
Bump. The recent AI hype has stiffened my resolve in this regard, but I have other things to do right now.
