Why I Let AI Grade My Writing (Just Like My AP English Teacher)
Ten years ago, I hired an editor to grade my blog posts as an AP English teacher might. Yesterday, I asked an AI to do the same thing.
The verdict? A solid B-.
Claude’s Scorecard
Grade: B-
Strengths:
The piece demonstrates a clear understanding of complex technical concepts and attempts to make them accessible to a general audience. The author’s personal connection to deep learning through graduate school studies adds authenticity and historical perspective. This human touch helps ground the technical material in lived experience.
Areas for Improvement:
Structure & Flow (C+)
Language & Style (B-)
Development of Ideas (B)
Voice & Tone (B)
Technical Integration (B+)
Reading the feedback triggered two emotions : nostalgia for Mr. Dunn’s legendary red pen in AP English & a thrill for concrete feedback to strengthen the piece.
Back & forth, I iterated with Claude, until I ground the piece to an A-. Still not perfection, but a reminder that clear writing demands relentless revision and an openness to criticism – lessons Mr. Dunn taught me long ago.
In business, we don’t often receive the relentless coaching of a great teacher, but with AI, the red pen is just a mouse click away.
