We know this is happening, but it should be said explicitly: "Generative AI has thoroughly permeated the work of instructional designers. It can be used for a wide variety of tasks such as creating a course map, scripting a case study, drafting handouts, creating visualizations, evaluating alternatives, producing audiovisual media, supporting digital accessibility, checking alignment, creating documentation, preparing slide decks." My own experience is that it can do all of this at more or less the same quality as a human. "If the baseline becomes 'anyone with ChatGPT can design a course,' institutions may deprofessionalize instructional design, treating it as a task rather than a discipline." But if 'anyone with ChatGPT can design a course,' why would we need these institutions at all? Teasing out the answer to this question requires thought and research, and we should not just depend on intuition.
