I've read the paper! Love your reasoning, you & @xolotl.org of why hallucinate is inappropriate.
I have a question re mirage. Isn't a mirage when you see something that doesn't exist? Distortion of reality but from the viewer? This makes it seem like AI mistakes are in the eye of the beholder, no?

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

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.

Here is the study

Cc @derekbruff.bsky.social other studies found that ChatGPT feedback was similar quality to feedback for the average student, but gave the same kind of feedback even to brilliant students... so it's basically giving average feedback regardless of writing level. Will find the study.

Haha I guess we can make it shorter for a t-shirt "Yes, AI might be working well for you, but it still has pitfalls and limitations".
Or better "AI will always have pitfalls and limitations, no matter how useful some people find it"?
Not punchy enough haha

oh, I love that it reminds me of the song, but also that of course writing and thinking are more than words, but AI is just words! Genius title

Amazingly, I said my reason for declining to review, and I got apologies from editors and that this was a mistake (coz i was second not first author on the system), and they'll make sure not to do it again

Love that last resource - really simple to follow, makes total sense as a way to show teachers how to apply social constructivism with students who can't start right away at step 3 (duh not all learners can start from halfway there).
Also realized as a parent I sometimes make that mistake 😬 oops

Yeah and of course ppl's ZPD differ.
Curious to read about zone of possibility

right - and our goal as teachers should always be for people to get an A! Different students need different levels of support to get an A.
