Unlock the secrets to harnessing the power of generative AI in instructional design with our special guest, Jeremy Tuttle, Director of Learning Design at Niche Academy. Jeremy shares his firsthand experiences using tools like ChatGPT and Adobe Illustrator, revealing practical insights on their applications and limitations. Learn why creating effective learning materials still demands significant human intervention for editing and fact-checking, and discover the challenges of aligning AI-generated images with specific design needs.
As we explore the broader landscape, we draw intriguing parallels between the current AI integration process and the early days of UX/UI design. Hear about the balance required between pushing the boundaries of innovation and maintaining practicality, underscored by a nostalgic anecdote about the evolution from MySpace's customizable pages to today's streamlined interfaces. We also delve into future trends such as learner personalization, chatbots, and the critical role user feedback plays in refining AI applications.
Finally, we tackle the ethical dimensions of using AI in creative fields. From the necessity of artists' consent and fair compensation to the complexities of AI training pools, we leave no stone unturned. Drawing a provocative analogy to the Napster era, we question the implications of AI-generated art on the value of creativity. This episode is a compelling exploration of the intersection between technology and artistry, advocating for stronger protections to ensure art continues to thrive in the age of AI. Join us for an essential conversation that challenges and enlightens.
