Teachers have reportedly started using ChatGPT-like programs to grade papers in school, and the internet isn’t a fan of the idea.
AsChatGPTcontinues to get smarter, students are using the AI chatbot to complete various types of homework for their classes.
Now, Teachers are reportedly being encouraged to use the OpenAI chatbot to grade papers — but the internet isn’t a fan of the idea.
“Lazy” teachers are using ChatGPT to grade papers
Jack Lynch, CEO of Houghton Mifflin Harcourt told Axios: “We have a lot of teachers who are using the program and are very excited about it.”
For better or worse, teachers are embracing ChatGPT-powered grading with a new tool called Writable, which is based on an AI concept called “human in the loop.“https://t.co/6Kh4SSFnGd
Users across social media quickly took to their pages to share their thoughts about teachers using AI to grade papers, and many aren’t a fan of the idea.
“Unmitigated disaster. This is enshrining every bad approach to how we treat writing in schools inside of an AI-mediated space using a program owned by a massive publisher/ed tech company. This is production line, inhuman student processing, not education,” one user replied.
“our future teachers are using chatgpt to write lesson plans we are so toast,” another replied.
Many others simply shared that they think teachers using AI to grade papers is “lazy” and the lack of human feedback will be harmful to students worldwide.
