An easy way to address it just project based grading. But of course, this needs a lot more graders than just a single professor to work with large class sizes.

An easy way to address it just project based grading. But of course, this needs a lot more graders than just a single professor to work with large class sizes. Which means more money. And it's hard to get money for education in the US.
So, it's not really AI that's at fault, as with any new technology, it disrupts; That's what new things do. It's just that the status quo is this lazy approach to education that hamstrings teachers by denying them the resources they need to do the work well, in the name of saving money.
An ironic twist on this "saving money" is that spending more on people, nets more returns. Educate someone well, and they can do high quality work, which makes a lot more money than minimal investment. Spend money on healthcare and prevention, and medical costs overall go down, as large problems are addressed when they're still small.
But I guess the lure of "lower taxes" is enough for this sort of thing to persist.
