I stumbled upon an article in the New York Times that caught my attention.

Technology has led our society as a whole to rely on artificial intelligence but I think this system of grading essays is not a good idea.
There are some valid points of implementing such a system. It will conserve time however writing is subjective and there is a process to it. A machine cannot understanding or see this process. A professor can read a students essay and understand what they are trying to say. They can also guide them to making corrections and or helping them to see where their thinking process might have gone wrong. Once there is a universal plan that grades essays students writing will all become robotic and machine like. I do not think this is a good plan. What are your thoughts?
