Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “The AI Gives You an F”.
Texas schools Embrace AI grading, the Texas Education Agency will be replacing human graders not fully replacing, but certainly significantly augmenting. I shouldn’t say: augmenting they’re replacing some. The human graders are yeah. Some of them are gone yeah, so we’ll be replacing some of their human graders. With an Autos scoring engine – and this is not for multiple choice – this is for written questions on standardized tests, with the only exception being tests written in Spanish.
If the AI indicates it has low confidence in its score, the test will be referred to a human grader for review with the human grader score, overruling the AIS. If there’s a disagreement between the two scores, Texas estimates that 75 % of tests will be graded without being sent for further review, they estimate this will save5 to20 million a year annual by hiring only a third as many temporary graders every year. The state has insisted that, while the autoc scoring engine is based on similar technology to gp4, it will have systemic systematic oversight from humans. It won’t learn from one response to the next, but always defer to its original programming set up by the state.
It was apparently trained on 3,000 past tests that went through two rounds of review by by human graders and is intended to give the same grade as a human grader would have. The decision follows a 2023 redesign of the star standardized assignment assessment to include fewer, multiple choice, questions and six times more open-ended questions, which actually seems like a good idea. Having you know, students answer with open-ended questions, I guess they’re just like well um. This is a lot of work to grade, so I guess we’ll just have a machine do it which um yeah critics have raised, concerns that a machine may not be able to recognize and reward creativity or originality. 3,000 seems like not a lot of Prior tests. Huh, honestly, no also a person 123 in full playe chat said this is even worse than it seems because those temporary graders I didn’t put this together.
Those temporary graders uh, who were losing their jobs, were generally Texas teachers trying to augment their crappy salaries, didn’t think about that. That makes sense. That’S rough cool, yeah, controversial. Take when did tax priorities shift from roads, schools, libraries, first and then other stuff.
Defense realistically doesn’t have to be like all of it, but there should be some. When did it shift from that? First then, everything else to like Rando programs and vanity projects, and then I guess, if we have anything left over, I guess we’ll pay teachers, something we can. We can call some teachers job when did when when when exactly did that happen, I don’t know I’m just wondering just curious because, like I pay a lot of taxes, I wouldn’t mind if they went to schools, schools seem cool. Tro is investing some billions of dollars in AI yeah, but our government is also investing in subsidies for homeowners, instead of just allowing the market to fall so that people can actually afford the houses they’re just giving rent subsidies. That is actually not the solution. It’S totally going to let the property values go up, so the property taxes go up. So you can give a pittance of that money to the people who now have unaffordable rent, so they can give more money to land land owners brilliant. Who can then pay more property taxes? That’S great! It’S a perpetual motion machine, good job, flawless, flawless Victory stupid.
I I wouldn’t necessarily have a huge problem with this. If I think we were like way down the line from where we are now, this is way massively too early. You can’t put this stuff in a position where it could have any amount of impact on someone’s future um, because it’s like oh yeah, humans will grade it. If, if you know it has a low confidence, but what if it is highly confidently incorrect, which we have seen many times and then if you can dispute it and it will be graded by a real person, then everyone’s going to just dispute it and you didn’t Gain anything anyways, I don’t know dumb .
