Qianwen AI Free vs. Institutions: Unmasking the High-Price Writing Scam
On June 25, CCTV aired an exposé on the chaotic college entrance examination volunteer registration market, igniting widespread public debate. The footage revealed that numerous high school admission agencies charge exorbitant fees—ranging from 4,980 to 12,980 yuan—by leveraging titles like "ten-year experienced teachers" and "professors." In reality, these so-called "experienced consultants" are often new hires with less than two months of experience or even part-time college students. Their "professional plans" are generated using the free Qwen AI, with some agencies directly reselling Qwen-generated content to parents at a premium.

CCTV journalists and the blogger "Filter Crusher" conducted an undercover investigation, uncovering that high school admission agencies operate as "personality factories." A staff member at a Wuhan-based company joked, "We create our own identities and forge certificates. We have no ideals or ethics." New employees undergo brief training before posing as "teachers," using "diagnostic questions" to lure clients and hiring "planters" to manufacture a false sense of popularity, thereby maximizing parental anxiety.

The source of these expensive plans is even more transparent. A former employee of a high school admission agency told reporters that he discovered several files on his work computer labeled as AI-generated "volunteer plans," noting, "It's highly likely that these were generated by AI."
A salesperson admitted, "I often ask AI to draft content for me, then I just read it aloud without understanding a word of it." The salesperson demonstrated the process by opening Qwen, inputting requirements, and letting the AI generate the plan, stating, "You simply query the platform and push these options to the client."
The personalized plan purchased by parents for over 10,000 yuan has virtually zero cost. The agency head also confessed that volunteer registration is merely a customer acquisition strategy, while their main business involves packaging self-taught bachelor's degrees as "full-time bachelor's degree assistance programs," charging 20,000 yuan per student.

Experts emphasize that while AI can integrate information and reduce the information gap, packaging free AI outputs as expert wisdom and disguising adult continuing education as regular bachelor's degrees is essentially exploiting parents.
