I'm pretty crap at starting from a blank page. But I can do a reasonable job of editing something written. It would probably not be that bad for me.
Generate some variations, and then use them as inspiration.

Conscious!
Hysterical - an AI getting a degree on this basis is plagiarism by way of datasets, so it wouldn't even get the degree, never mind be conscious.

Student will have to take written exams, and their writing styles in exams will be used as a baseline for analysing their other coursework.
. . . Then they will learn how to train an AI to mimic their writing styles and we will have to instigate vivas for every student just to check they know what they are studying.

Best way to solve that, have students supplement their papers with a verbal presentation complete with visual aids.

University might have to stop relying on essays so much to test

That's the rub - essays are used for a reason.
- can be submitted anonymously to remove gender/race bias
- easily transmittable for remote applicants or those too poor to afford in-person testing
- low to no cost for applicant to create other than time
- easy to grade/analyze quickly for institutions recieving hundreds or thousands of applicants at a time
Pull that rug out from under would-be students and you're causing a lot of damage.

“Of course, the tech industry thrives on unwarranted hype. Last month S Scott Graham in a piece for Inside Higher Education described encouraging students to use the technology for their assignments with decidedly mixed results. The very best, he said, would have fulfilled the minimum requirements but little more. Weaker students struggled, since giving the system effective prompts (and then editing its output) required writing skills of a sufficiently high level to render the AI superfluous.”
