Is AI good at marking

Hi, I wanted to ask if anyone has any experience with AI markers specifically for edexcel economics.

So far I have seen astarai.co.uk and econai.site (not an AD haven't paid for it myself yet)

I know AI isn't perfect but for econ which is already subjective with the banded answers I feel it is the best cheap option when a teacher is not available

Do you guys find that they are accurate and are worth the price?

Hey,
I’m generally cautious with AI markers for exam subjects, mainly because of academic misconduct concerns. You are often uploading school work or exam-style answers and it is not always clear how those responses are stored, reused or whether they end up as training data. That uncertainty alone makes me hesitant, especially with paid platforms that are not fully transparent.
From an AI perspective (I’m a computer science student, so this is based on how these systems typically work), these tools can be useful but have limits. Economics marking is banded and subjective, which actually makes it easier for AI than something highly technical but the models are still estimating rather than truly “marking” like an examiner. Training data is usually a mix of public mark schemes, examiner reports and synthetic examples so accuracy can vary.
They can be genuinely helpful when no teacher support is available, especially for identifying missing evaluation, weak application or poor structure. As a feedback tool rather than a definitive marker, they add value. They are also much cheaper than a tutor and faster.
I would not treat the mark as reliable, especially for 12- and 25-mark questions. Paid versions are not necessarily “better” in a meaningful way; often you are paying for convenience and formatting rather than substantially improved judgement. It is fine as a supplement but not something I would rely on heavily and I would think carefully before paying or uploading large amounts of assessed work. I recommend always finding some time to go over your work with lecturers, professors or teachers to properly mark them and provide feedback as they are often the teachers who put themselves up to be markers over summer and have the experience.

I wouldn't trust AI to review anything. They can be very wishy washy and you should be weary of any feedback they give you being a. Incorrect, or b. Overly positive because it is trying to please you.
Is there no one that can help you mark your work? Do you think that if you look at the mark schemes, you can mark your own work honestly? It wouldn't be ideal, but... you'd probably be able to be more critical than any AI.

I am not an economics teacher and with banded answers I don't really even know where to start on feedback as it is not like I would write something I thought wouldn't get marks
I don't really care how my data is stored I have nothing to hide anyways
