AI feedback audit reveals filter flaws, finds "more specific" feedback more faithful

An audit of AI feedback on student essays revealed that a filter designed to identify suggested rewrites inadvertently removed a significant portion of genuine quotes. When the filter was adjusted to better suit the SpecEval dataset, it uncovered three times more quoted passages. This revised analysis showed that AI feedback ranked as "more specific" was also more faithful to the student's original words, though not perfectly so, with about 3.2% of quotes altering the student's text.
