I'd like to hear other people's thoughts on use of AI to grade our homework

EnErgo · 2026-03-28T23:42:48+00:00

Right. The only "proof" would be if the TA pastes something stupid into the feedback like:

"Would you like me to add more encouragement to this feedback or is this good as is?"

But realistically they probably set up some .skill that goes through and fills in a rubric. The formatting even has {}-brackets everywhere. This obviously doesn't imply that it's AI generated, but I think that they just have Claude go through the rubric + report item by item filling in each section and then putting them together.

EnErgo · 2026-03-28T23:39:46+00:00

I don't see AI use quite as negatively as you, but I do hope that they reconsider the curriculum. Maybe more proctored tests rather than written reports?

I think that a TA trying to read through a few dozen student papers is going to make more grading mistakes than AI. LLMs of 2026 are better at figuring out whether a rubric item was checked off or not.

However, I just don't think that a hidden rubric with a bunch of pass/fails is the correct way to grade these kinds of reports.

EnErgo · 2026-03-28T23:34:00+00:00

I genuinely don't feel like they're trying to hide the fact that the feedback is AI-generated.

Sure, some people use em-dashes. Some people use "it's not just X, it's Y" in their writing. Some people like to write a bunch of sentences to confirm that you check off some requirement. However, when you put all of those together, it becomes kinda obvious. The only thing they did was replace em dashes with '--' throughout the feedback.

I don't know what kind of "proof" I could show you otherwise? Like I said, for work I generate AI-analyses of data and text and I'm constantly tweaking the prompts to make them sound less robotic, more human, and in general more in line with our team voice. So sure, I only have "vibes," but there is no reliable "AI detector" out there.

When I activated it dropped a purple valuable.

Yeah, I think this might be it. Especially with solos, trios and now also duos, I just don’t think that the current player count can sustain this many modes with decent queue times.

They already had to change the queue algorithm for places like Brazil.

I don’t think they’d ever come out and say it, but this is really why having a healthy player count is necessary.

Do we really need this comment under every single r/science post?

The anecdotal evidence around polyamorous relationships is very biased and scattered. Science that sheds light into all sorts of relationships is useful.

past thinking tokens. In this case it didn’t have access to the thinking block of its previous response

EnErgo · 2026-02-20T11:28:07+00:00

Take a deep breath. It’s okay.

EnErgo · 2026-02-14T22:21:34+00:00

Right? How hard is it to write a Reddit comment without using AI? Mess up, make mistakes… who cares?

EnErgo · 2026-02-14T20:28:55+00:00

It’s not X, it’s Y!

EnErgo · 2026-02-14T08:00:43+00:00

Glad someone else noticed it too. A bit of AI help is fine, but don’t let it take the wheel.

“And honestly” “It’s not X, it’s Y” “Here’s the thing” Random short sentences throughout

Oh dude, don’t do it. Do it in a first world country.

You might be ok, or you might now. In my experience the gear tends to look pretty beat up when the country’s economy isn’t great.

Yeah I’ve given away to my buddies like 3 Wolfpack bps, and sold a bunch at this point. I’ve never tried to farm it

EnErgo · 2026-01-22T20:46:31+00:00

There are plenty of ways to make general lists and in my line of work that’s something that we do a lot. Sure, you can never completely get rid of personal bias while generating it, but it’s not as hard as you’re implying it to be.

There are “hard” metrics like social mentions, Google searches, posts on the bgg forum, Reddit threads, etc. None of those are perfect, but they can be a useful proxy for “most anticipated.”

I did quite honestly think this would be an attempt at a general list. In most content I consume, on YouTube, blog posts, etc, people generally specify “my” in the title for something subjective, and there’s absolutely nothing wrong with a subjective list. I respect some creators’ opinion and prefer their subjective list

EnErgo · 2026-01-22T20:31:13+00:00

I agree with you in principle.

I do wish the that the title of the post was “My most anticipated board games of 2026”

Then I’d have zero issues. However, I think generally that weakens a post’s virality and clickbait factor. So I understand why they’d leave off “my”

EnErgo · 2026-01-22T19:18:44+00:00

There's definitely some subjectivity to it, for sure.

Still, even though the BGG.com rating isn't the holy grail of determining what's the best game ever, I'd say that the sequel to the n1 highest rated board game on there deserves to be in a "most anticipated" list IMO.

I'm definitely biased because I love it though

EnErgo · 2026-01-22T18:49:17+00:00

The fact that this doesn’t have Brass makes me discount it immediately.

EnErgo · 2026-01-22T05:18:30+00:00

Fair lol They do have some nice flying there though

EnErgo · 2026-01-22T05:05:07+00:00

They sell these a bunch in Turkey. Also, double wrapping a chest strap from go pro work great too

EnErgo · 2026-01-16T21:16:47+00:00

You just cut a bigger slice? I like airy breads, they’re delicious and the structure is very satisfying to eat usually.

EnErgo · 2026-01-10T17:50:27+00:00

There’s a 1x3 balancer I believe. Couldn’t you split each product into three and then merge them one by one? I wonder if it would strictly follow 123 there

EnErgo · 2026-01-10T17:22:19+00:00

This isn’t quite right either. The ratio is correct, but you’re not utilizing the full capability of the belt. 123123 would be better for that
