This is the wrong way of looking at it. Number of bids not necessarily going up due to AI but due to the tough financial crisis in higher education putting even more pressure on academics to get funding. Also if you want to get less AI in an application cut the nonsense & waffly tick boxing sections

A social media ban isn’t a quick fix. While risks are real, it overlooks the complexity of young people’s lives online. We need balanced, evidence-based solutions, that address causes, reduce harm, and support safe, positive digital experiences. Read our full response: cypmhc.org.uk/cypmhc-respo...
Also the complete absence of #participation and #YouthVoice in both the development of this policy & plans for its implementation. The fact that this is been developed by & will be imposed on young people by adults without any input from them is another big reason why it's unlikely to succeed.
One of the obvious problems with a under-16 social media ban is that it won't work. (60%+ of Australian under-16s are still using these platforms).
But it will make people feel like something has been done so they won't tackle the content, which is the real issue.
If this goes ahead, it will be a policy without any precedent that I can think of.
The evidence that social media is 'harmful' for under-16s simply isn't there. People have been looking for it! It's become a kind of common sense. But actual evidence that this is a problem doesn't really exist 🧵

This would be a pointless and vindictive move which would shame those who propose it for the rest of their careers.
