To praise or not to praise?

A lot has been said about AI, but I am facing one dilemma no one else is talking about. 

Praise. 

With the advent of AI, I've been getting more and more impeccable or near-impeccable #IELTS essays. I understand they might not be AI-generated. They might be AI-enhanced. But they are still not original student's work. 

So how do I praise the student or the essay?

In the past, I might have said something like, "You really did a great job this time. I like the way you ... ." 

I can no longer say that. I cannot say, "You did a great job."  Who is that "you" that did a great job? 

At present, I refrain from praising any writing that has a distinct AI smell. 

Talk to me. ❤️
