The CCTV program "Economic Investigation" recently exposed a "black factory" that uses artificial intelligence technology to mass-produce essays, revealing the astonishing efficiency and operating model of this gray industry chain.
According to reports, institutions such as Wuhan Huanzhige Information Consulting Co., Ltd. have been recruiting high-paying "essay and text editors." The company's Tang supervisor admitted to the reporter that they use an "editing + AI" operational model, which is simple to operate and requires minimal deep human involvement, enabling extremely high essay writing efficiency. Employees mainly earn money by producing a large volume of work.
In the computer of Wuhan Huanzhige Company, a document titled "2025 Essay Writing Details" showed that the same writer had completed essays on completely unrelated disciplines, ranging from "Law" to "Preschool Education" and "Computer Application and Technology." The wide professional range was shocking, fully demonstrating the nature of their mass production based on tools rather than professional knowledge.
Another institution exposed is Wuhan Ruijie Xueshang Education Consulting Co., Ltd. Its Shen supervisor bluntly stated that the company's employees can produce 30 essays in one day. The secret lies in their ability to skillfully use AI tools and a database. They just need to input data into the templates provided by the company and perform simple polishing and formatting to quickly complete the articles.
This exposure revealed that some companies are using the powerful text generation capabilities of AI to form a black industry centered on essay writing, seriously disrupting academic integrity and educational fairness.
