Is AI the magic bullet for course creation? This episode dives into the common mistakes course creators make when using artificial intelligence. Learn how to leverage AI effectively and ethically to boost productivity without sacrificing your unique voice, quality, or trust with your audience.

Learn how to:

• Recognize the temptation and pitfalls of over-relying on AI: Understand the risks to authenticity and potential plagiarism.

• Ensure consistency between AI content and your live interactions: Maintain trust by having your authentic voice shine through.

Weekly Action Item:

• Critically evaluate the AI-generated content for your unique voice and expertise, noting areas that require significant editing.
• Reflect on how you can use AI as a tool to support your creativity rather than replace it.
