The ABC has a story today about the University of Tasmania cutting the time they'll pay for marking student work and one of the anonymous teachers they interviewed said "I'm seriously considering getting ChatGPT or Artificial Intelligence (AI) to write the feedback for me" and that "the way things are going, the uni wants to save money wherever it can, so yes we'll be using AI in no time for marking and feedback". It would be easy to cast ChatGPT as evil here, but the real blame is on UTAS not giving their staff enough paid time to do their work properly. Using tools readily available to save time, even if that tool results in subpar, perhaps even discriminatory, output is a symptom, not the cause.
