students use AI to generate essays; educators use AI to grade it… AI that is built on the backbone of stolen data and packaged as a shiny EdTech tool that educational institutes have to pay a fortune for… folks, do you see who benefits from all of this?
No matter who says that these tools aren’t intended to replace teachers or how many times it’s said, that’s exactly what will happen. (Or it will be used as a justification for eliminating teacher jobs because now teachers can “grade” more efficiently) www.wsj.com/tech/ai/ai-t...

I was, and am, one of those critics. I’ve opposed this grading tech since around 2000, when ETS was making claims of human equivalence in grading for latent semantic analysis. But I still think the tech (sans the data theft, obviously) can be used formatively to give students feedback.
