Abstract

In the fast-paced digital era, the assessment of writing has undergone a transformative shift with the integration of automated tools. As technology continues to advance, the debate surrounding the fair assessment of writings without the human factor intensifies. While automated tools offer efficiency and objectivity, concerns arise regarding their ability to comprehend nuances, creativity, and the human touch in writing. This article explores the challenges and opportunities associated with assessing writings solely through tools, drawing insights from various sources to present a comprehensive perspective.
