The research corpus consists of seven essays, with a grade above 70 points, from the 2024 entrance exam, which made three themes available to candidates, among them the proposal that requested the production of a dissertation-argumentative text that answered the question: “The technology advances, what can we expect from the integration between humans and machines?” The analytical principles of the essays include value judgments about the relationships between human beings and machines and the linguistic-discursive resources that mobilize ideological-valuative positions. The results indicate that some candidates establish an alliance relationship with the supporting text and, in this way, argue towards a positive and harmonious relationship between humans and machines in favor of the development of society; other candidates oppose the command of the drafting proposal, producing a negative assessment in relation to the expansion of technologies, indicating their risks and threats to people.
