Teachers are using AI to generate multiple choices tests from reading assignments and assigning to students via all-in-one portals.
There are a host of services that leverage multi-modal open models tailored to everything right now, from generating syllabi and course shells to handling your ARD. It's removing the administrative overhead that computerization promised in the 70s and 80s that largely stalled out because IT management had to manufacture some dependence to keep their jobs.

I’m not saying this as a knock against teachers. It’s just not typically in their skill set, and there’s a lot of hidden complexity involved in building a good assessment. It’s likely that the majority of HNers would be similarly bad at it.
