In some cases teachers are being overworked and expected to deliver far beyond their capability. The issue I see here is that its Powerpoint / document generation AI tools often use older / cheaper / worse models e.g. 4o mini, instead of Claude opus or Gemini 2.5 pro. The second issue it is often hard for the original prompter to see issues in AI output, so another pair of eyes or a different LLM prompt with more context can often pick up most issues. I dont think AI use for teachers is going anywhere, we should work with the flow on this one and help teachers do their jobs more easily.
