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?

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.

There’s an 80s movie where they show a lecture theatre full of students and, as term progresses, more and more students are replaced by tape recorders. Eventually the professor is replaced with a reel-to-reel tape machine—there are no real people there at all! This the future #AI companies envisage.
