Bonjour Heroes.
I asked several AIs how to use AI in e-learning. They replied:
-I can design a complete course on any topic
-I can identify the needs of the learners
-I can define course objectives
-I can design step-by-step learning as precisely as an expert
-I can imagine a storytelling based on any reference
-I can write every part of every screen
- I can translate it into any language
-I can design all the quizzes, with different levels of difficulty.
- I can adjust the feedbacks according to the learners' answers
-I can draw the illustrations and infographics
-I can make the videos
-I can animate the avatars
-I can compose and play the music
-I can do the voice-overs
-I can calculate the effectiveness of the training
- I can suggest that you take some time for yourself while I do everything.
So, last weekend, I spent two days building the wooden garden table I need, because AIs don't know how to use a saw, screwdriver and wood glue. Not yet.
I'm a little reluctant to use these "new" tools. Mainly because I don't know much about them, I admit. But I was a screenwriter in another life. Several of my friends are cartoonists, musicians, actors and... instructional designers. I fear that all of them will be replaced by something that does it better than they do, without the human imperfection that forces us to always push our own limits. This week, I'll explore the tools the heroes mention. Thank you all. (translated by DeepL) :-)

- Please let us know how your garden table project went, which is a much more impressive use of time!
I have been using AI tools as a brainstorming partner to get me started when I need to save time, especially in scripting scenarios for my learning projects. But the AI tools do not have a sense of humor--unlike a real person. I asked ChatGPT to help me develop a funny scenario of a boss giving confusing feedback to a direct report--and ChatGPT told me I was being mean and shouldn't joke about such a serious topic. :)- Hmm! So AI has an Achilles heel, and it's judgemental. I can't believe it reprimanded you!
- Thierry, Judging from the AI's answers that you quoted, it certainly doesn't lack confidence, and it is gifted with extrasensory perception too! "I can identify the needs of the learners."
I'm on the fence about it too. I seriously doubt it will ever better a creative mind and talent, but it may well homogenize creativity and make fast, cheap, low quality an acceptable norm across the board. Cost. Not for the first time.
I do see some positive in it for learning. But like all tech it depends on the demographic of the people who do the programming, and importantly how a user uses it, and that is always a wild card. I think, like many inventions it will be a benefit and a liability. Which side will eventually get the upper hand and at what cost?

I will do some more research.
