My niece is a teacher and she tried something new this year for preparing
report cards for her students. She estimates that it takes her about
60 hours to come up with all the comments required to add to the report
cards. It is expected there will be detailed comments for every student.
No 'boilerplate' allowed..

She got an AI involved where she could put in a few comments and the AI
took her comments and the marks and such and apparently amazed her and
everyone she showed it to how it came up with a report that was at least
as good as she'd have come up with in a matter of seconds.

But in this case it is using a little new information and making
a modified copy of typical old comments, so it's not so much
intelligence as manipulating data into an expected format.
