This article blends the ideas of generative AI and open educational resources and the results are about what is to be expected. The authors begin with licensing concerns, asserting that "educators must still assign an open license if they intend for others to use, share, or adapt that content freely," though they are aware that "a creator might not be able to assign a license because the work is not copyrightable." They offer a 'GenAI-OER Adoption Framework' based around the idea of adoption, adaptation and building. They should have included 'share' somewhere in there. The rest is boilerplate advice: start slow, share what you've learned, "align practice with the core values of openness, equity, agency, and care."
