The article says "...had professors assess whether responses might mislead or confuse students."

professors flagged AI responses as pedagogically harmful only 3.5% of the time, compared to 12% for peer-written answers.

Which makes me think that real people came to some conclusion, sometimes biased or wrong, but AI could have produced inconclusive inflated perhaps-maybe-sometimes text (which it would be good at) 96.5% of the time. Response not being harmful doesn't mean it's good.
