Great content-- thanks for sharing. Something I found fascinating and very helpful was prompting ChatGPT to provide analogies to describe things... just so cool how quick it's able to adjust on the fly and describe things differently.
Same here, Adam. I asked chat GPT to explain a project methodology using analogies and then to shorten it and add humor - pretty cool what I ended up with!
Thanks for sharing, Luke. So I am still considering two directions 1) IDers' workloads are lowered day by day until they are all fired; 2) as the machine boosts our work efficiency, we can stimulate greater needs and productivity~. Plus, even when the second direction is followed, should the skills and competence required in instructional design be revised?
Great question here! So, no, I don't believe we are all going to be replaced by AI anytime soon. However, it wouldn't surprise me that as AI becomes more sophisticated with design elements, this means that instructional designers will be shifting our skills to more of the people skills, communication skills, and leadership skills. For instance, a stronger emphasis on project management, relationship management, and leading teams would become more prominent in job postings.
@@DrLukeHobson Great ideas! I can't agree more. Well, as for the potential to replace, although I don't think this will happen soon, I am not sure what happens in the far future when AI can think and act by itself. If that happens, humans are at huge risk. The loss of jobs seem nothing compared to this. God bless~
That's been on my mind, too. I think I fall into Luke's line of thinking. I have only been in ID for ~1.5 years now as a contractor, but 90% of my work comes in the form of relationship management/project management and strategic planning in the ID realm, not so much in the development side of things. I am sure there are other variables at play there, so apologies if this comes off as an over simplification. But I think PM, strategy, and relationship management are the places to lean into as technology slowly devalues design, writing, and development sorts of skills. It's not that those aren't important or valuable skills to have, but they can be outsourced at lower and lower costs, whether it's to other people around the world or to software that decreases the barrier to entry to a point that it no longer makes sense to pay high rates.
Really helpful, Thanks for listing and providing examples. Really like the one for learning objectives and what it does or does not do well plus tweaks needed.
Hey Luke! Listening now. Thanks for sharing your insight on ChatGPT. Apparently ChatGPT is "resting" right now and it is a capacity this morning. Even ChatGPT needs a rest. ;)
Haha this would happen when I uploaded the video! Well, whenever it's back up and running, I really hope you can try bouncing ideas off of it. This totally blew me away!
@@DrLukeHobson Yeah! I haven't used AI in my design yet but I have used AI to generate mind blowing graphic and images for some social media pages I run.
Thanks for sharing doc! What I'm trying to understand is if large language models are trained on data from the internet, how can we use the information it provides in ways that don't violate copyright laws?
It's a great question! You can read some very interesting takes about this right now. Here is one from Forbes: www.forbes.com/sites/joemckendrick/2022/12/21/who-ultimately-owns-content-generated-by-chatgpt-and-other-ai-platforms/?sh=383715fb5423
Thank you for the great ideas and sharing the experiences. I am curious about attributing ChatGPT properly. Even if we use it as a starting point with further edits, should we include a footnote that explains the text originated from ChatGPT? If so, is there a generally accepted format?
I'm glad you liked it, Laura! This has been an ongoing conversation about how to do this correctly. According to Open AI's Terms of Use, you own the content actually. You can read more about it here: openai.com/policies/terms-of-use
Thanks for these helpful tips! I am about to start my first full-time ID job and it’s content like this that keeps me excited for where this field will go
