Can AI replace a teacher?
The useful starting question is which tasks can be supported safely, not whether the whole profession disappears. AI can help prepare materials, but learning goals, accessibility and relationships determine whether those materials are useful.
Separate the task treatments
- Draft practice exercises: assisted preparation with human review.
- Check an answer key against curriculum: verification before use.
- Support a learner in a difficult conversation: human-led context and accountability.
What not to infer
Do not upload identifiable student work. Automated feedback can be wrong or inappropriate for a learner’s needs. This is an illustrative workflow analysis, not a current capability benchmark, legal/clinical advice or forecast of displacement.
A useful first pilot
Review a small set of synthetic exercises for correctness, difficulty and accessibility before classroom use. Include review and correction time in the measurement, not just generation speed.
Questions before delegation
- What misconception is the exercise testing?
- Who checks the answer key?
- How will the learner explain their reasoning?

Questions, answered
Is this an employment prediction?
No. Tasks, model choice, data quality, permissions and organizational context all affect whether assistance is useful.
What should I measure?
Compare correctness, review time, exceptions and consequences in a supervised low-stakes pilot.
