Google Classroom's AI Now Does Teachers' Homework: 'Because Why Not?'

In a groundbreaking move that has educators everywhere wondering if they should just hand over their lesson plans to Skynet, Google Classroom has unveiled its latest feature: an AI that generates quiz questions so teachers don't have to. That's right, folks. The robots are officially coming for our jobs, starting with the one profession we all thought was safe—teaching.

The new tool, which runs on Gemini (because naming your AI after a zodiac sign makes it sound less terrifying), allows teachers to upload text or manually enter it, and voilà—the AI spits out a list of questions. Because apparently, reading comprehension and critical thinking are now tasks best left to machines.

How it works:

• Teacher uploads a document about the French Revolution.
• AI generates questions like, 'What did Marie Antoinette say before losing her head?'
• Students answer, 'Let them eat cake,' and the AI gives them a gold star for historical accuracy.

But wait, there's more! The AI is so advanced that it can even detect when a student's answer is, 'I dunno,' and respond with, 'That's okay, neither do I.' A feature that's sure to boost confidence and academic performance across the board.

Critics of the technology argue that it's another step toward the complete automation of education, where human interaction is replaced by algorithms that think 'engagement' means how many times you can click 'Next' without falling asleep. Meanwhile, Google assures us that this is just a 'tool' to 'assist' teachers, not replace them. Because nothing says 'assistance' like doing someone's entire job for them.

So, what's next? Will the AI start grading papers with emojis? ('Your essay on Shakespeare was 🔥, but your thesis statement was 🗑️.') Only time will tell. But one thing's for certain: the future of education is here, and it's powered by a machine that probably thinks '2+2' is 'whatever you want it to be, sweetie.'
