On principle, my stance is that we write for people to read, not score. If we have a systemic problem of too many students per teacher, we should work on that. In the meantime, anyone studying autonomously of course could benefit from AI-generated feedback, especially in early language learning.
Otherwise we diminish the meaning of writing itself.
I'm OK with AI feedback on mechanics of writing, but not on meaning and so on, you know? Those are meant for humans to read and respond to, imho
Yes. I think outside a higher ed context, I can see how this is useful and also its limitations (as someone trying go self-teach a language with some AI help). But it is dangerous in higher ed or formal ed in general, can be weaponized to devalue and reduce labor, you know?

I can ask ChatGPT, How might someone [in this kind of audience] react to this piece?, and it will give me something to react to.
