I'm not super opposed to it. Watching my son try it, he spends more time reading the created essay and correcting mistakes in it than he does writing one himself. The checking process is very similar to marking, and I think it's possible he's learning more this way. (Also, he's madly trying to automate fact checking which is doing no harm to his programming at all!)
