Responding to the description of an upcoming talk by David Wiley, Heather Ross argues strenuously against the blending of artificial intelligence and open educational resources. "GenAI may be fun to play with and make some tasks easier," she writes, "but the cost to the values of open, the planet, marginalized groups, and humanity as a whole are far too great." Now I disagree with her argument, and not merely because I made the same argument Wiley is making several years ago. But even more, as someone who has been building and developing this field for 25 years, I strenuously object to language like "We can't stop you, but get off our field." Image: ChatGPT/DALL-E.
