According to this article, "McGraw-Hill has updated its writing assignment software to use artificial intelligence in giving feedback... the new functionality shows up in the company's Connect digital course materials." I think I would find it a bit disconcerting. Imagine spending several days writing something and then getting instant feedback. That would feel wrong. So I think there's going to be a pedagogical innovation where, instead of simply using AI for grading, a system has a student work back and forth with the AI to develop a quality piece of writing, which is then shared (with the instructor, with the class, with the world) once a certain level of achievement is reached.
