I forget where I saw it now, but I ran across a story wherein a teacher gave an assignment to get ChatGPT to write an essay on whatever subject the students were learning and then the students were to write an essay on the accuracy and inaccuracy of the ChatGPT essay. I thought that was pretty genius.
The genius move is to get ChatGPT to write the essay and the critique. I don't even have to try this, to know the output would be better quality than a student's own critique. From a teaching perspective the worst thing about this is the essay and critique would both be full of subtle errors, and writing feedback about subtle errors takes hours. These hours could have been spent guiding students who did work and actually have subtle misunderstandings.
I don't think that's necessarily fair or the point. Usually the point of essays are to get students to think critically about the subject, derive some conclusions and demonstrate evidence to make their points. I think the idea of having students critique an A.I driven essay begins to remove some of the "middle man" of content generation in essay writing, but still gets the student to think about the subject, gather some perspective and ideally look into evidence to support said perspective.
To add that I don't think the goal is to write "perfect" critiquing feedback that's free from errors. Errors are also part of the learning process :)
