To me this brings up the absurdity of having essays on standardized tests. What about an essay is standardized? It's a totally nonsensical premise.
This always gets made into some kind of techluminati conspiracy for the machines to ingrain structural racism whereas it's pretty clear all the algorithms fail to do is improve an already bad situation stemming from a flawed premise.
