When I was a junior in high school, the Advanced English teacher was also the AP English teacher. All the juniors had to write a term paper, and she had the seniors in the AP class give our papers' first draft a once over and give notes.
Both classes got a lesson, from either end, essentially for free (for the teacher). And it really helped. The next year I got to do the same. Of note was that this was back in the day when computers were relatively rare and typing was a skill that was specially taught, so most of the papers were written longhand for the first draft.
It's long been said that if you really want to learn a subject you should teach it. This sort of give-and-take works well, and it is more or less how the rest of society works. Using AI for this would be quite similar, but I think having another human is better. An AI will never stop you in the hall and say "dude, your paper, I got totally lost in the middle section, what the hell," but sometimes that's quite helpful.
