I feel like even if they had “opted-out” it wouldn’t really matter because the AI would just learn their competitors course and teach it later. This is a strategy that works only when they all collectively opt-out or they don’t. Shady practice from Udemy for sure
Thank you for the reminder to delete my Udemy account!
Gen-AI has 0 place being used in a learning setting, especially one people are explicitly paying for themselves. Sure, let’s all learn from the Bullshit Machine.
I see potential in a chat bot that can explain concepts and answer questions, supported by illustrations.
I could see the potential if they were actually correct more often than not, but LLM models are like a politician - they hallucinate and say things that are wrong or just outright lies, but do it confidently enough to make people believe them
if they really cared about intellectual property rights, this would be OPT-IN.
Well that’s a bummer but not surprising.
I wonder what a federated education marketplace could look like.
Some sort of (possibly locked) video hosting, maybe even Peertube, course discovery more like bookwyrm with lemmy style discussion forums? It’d be cool to have testing/assignment material like Blackboard built in too.
I switched to in-person teaching a couple years ago and am glad I did. It’s been a challenging time as an instructor finding ways to make sure I’m added value.
