I can’t even think of any valid reason why Udemy would need GenAI. Closed my account. This is the type of behavior I will not accept from a company. If enough people stood up to the Reddit’s and Udemy’s of the world they may, … maybe, be more responsible towards their users and their partners (in this case the people posting courses in Udemy).
if they really cared about intellectual property rights, this would be OPT-IN.
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
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
