if they really cared about intellectual property rights, this would be OPT-IN.
Massive E-Learning Platform Udemy Gave Teachers a Gen AI 'Opt-Out Window'. It's Already Over.

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).

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.

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

there is no way they can use the AI to teach anything yet. AI lies like 30% of the time. idk what they will use it for; maybe for search, maybe to polish up presentation, but if they try and use it as a teacher it will fail spectacularly.
