AI models alter student quotes in feedback, study finds

A study by MV2 of Munim, Inc. investigated whether AI models accurately quote student text in their feedback. Across six different large language models, including Llama-3.1:8b, Mistral-7B, Mistral-24B, Qwen2.5-70B, Gemini 2 Flash, and LearnLM, the research found that approximately 1.18% of quotes in AI-generated feedback altered the student's original words. Shorter quotes were more likely to be altered than longer ones, and the study revealed that model size was not a reliable indicator of quoting accuracy, with one instruction-tuned model being highly faithful and a mid-size general model performing poorly. AI

IMPACT Highlights the need for careful evaluation of AI feedback tools, as accuracy varies significantly between models.
