Shame on you treehouse, I pay all this money to learn from a real human being, not a robot from synthesia reading a script written by chatgpt.

Treehouse StaffThanks for sharing your feedback! There are a lot of really interesting opinions and conversations happening right now about ChatGPT and AI-generated content, for sure. We've been getting student requests for more learning materials centered on AI and ChatGPT specifically. The fact that an AI is explaining AI in our video is an angle we chose on purpose! (And the fact that an AI is reading a script is no different from what our human instructors do when they film their videos - our human instructors write and read from scripts, too.)
Don't worry, we aren’t handing over the keys to robots. In fact, this short course took many human hours to concept, organize, edit, and design. There are still humans at the wheel here at Treehouse, and we'll continue to educate - and sometimes challenge - our students with thought-provoking content.

15,844 PointsKari Brooks I agree this is a good idea to explore the topic as an intro.
I would really like to learn more about setting up continuous semantic/contextual environments with AI to help me as a developer. I'm going to be looking at Azure AI next. Any chance of Treehouse looking into this immediately so we can stay ahead of the curve?

224,848 PointsI'm surprised that a long-time student such as yourself would post such a comment, since you've already had the benefit of many courses all created by human instructors. This tiny microcourse is specifically about the technology used to generate the script, so that makes perfect sense in this case.
Plus, they talk about this being a bit of an experiment, and they even invite you to send feedback; but they specifically ask you to send it to a special email address created for the purpose instead of posting it to the forum.

Treehouse TeacherAs a former non-robot Treehouser, I enjoyed this course and am excited to see it get better. I want her to add some humor and a little more personality, but this is pretty cool in just showing it off.
Nice work y'all!
