I’m a UK teacher. I have built a custom GPT that marks essays for the subject I teach in a repeatable and reliable way. It gives actionable feedback to students.

I use it, and have given my students access to it too - they use it to help their revision.

Students use AI to write essays and teachers use it to grade. What a wonderful system
Kids making mud cakes, climbing trees, and taking shots at each other with shanghais. Teachers lounging on a beach somewhere. Meanwhile in classrooms, bots.

The Dead Classroom Theory.

UC Berkeley just banned the use of AI for conceptualising, outlining, drafting, revising, translating, or editing student work.
How about critiquing? Like, the moral equivalent of an editor pointing out issues and/or suggesting alterations? I think it would still be the student doing all the things you pointed out, but I suspect there's a fair amount of leeway in the interpretation of each of those.
