I've been talking about the use of AI to create (disposable) open education resources for more than a decade now so it's not really a surprise to me to see an institution deploy tech like ASU Atomic to create "AI-generated modules based on lectures taken from ASU faculty by cutting long videos down to very short clips then generating text and sections based on those clips." It's also not surprising to see critics like those in the (spamwalled) 404 Media article complain about "academically weak and even inaccurate content." Whatever you think about these, with Alan Levine "you have to start thinking, or wondering, about the things we consider as 'content', fixed assets - books, courses, OERs, blog posts, they are all maybe going by the wayside, or they are just the raw material, for these new kind of entities."
