Most people don't distinguish between Artificial Intelligence and Augmented Intelligence.

Grading fill in the blank arithmetic exercises seems like a perfect piece of Augmented Intelligence. No gibberish problems until you get to "show your work", and even there, there are options if the business model is there. If the program is able to mark answers as "illegible", the grader can review before confirming. Make take-home grading something that can be done before the children go home for the day.

But still, apart from really mechanical yes/no aspects like spelling, I wouldn't want to have anything I write graded by something with which I can't have a normal conversation (a human or strong AI). Would you?
If you disagree with the grade, you would still have the option of taking it up with the teacher/TA running the grading program.
