I was thinking along the same lines. One of the ways I saw paid essays work is that someone would buy the item and then tweak the phrasing of sentences and choice of words to make it a little more unique and tune it for the target level. It tends to obfuscate the plagiarism and makes it fit the style of the purchaser.

This tool even blows that out of the water.

I wonder how long before some groups recommend/require something like this to provide evidence of originality.

I once had a friend who would put essays into Google Translate, translate to French, then that to Spanish, then back to English - then manually fix the syntax, etc. People will go to great lengths.
