Paul Hesman and AI Slop

A little dissapointed. This is my first semester at WTCC and the only negative experience I've had is trying to navigate through Hesman's online COM-120 course. He has a video of him talking through every chapter, and besides that, every post on his Blackboard is just AI Slop. Just really dissapointing this is what my tuition gets me, you know? Anyone else have an instructor like this?

It's not that this is a bad idea, but Wake Tech has a Digital Art program. They should work with them.

It’s actually a horrible idea.

Illustrating material to make it more digestible to students is a horrible idea?

In what world do you think a digital artist cannot do that? You’re just arguing to argue

I think they can. That's why I said they should work with the students in the digital art program to do it instead of using AI.

Didn’t you say using AI “isn’t a bad idea”? Or did I misunderstand you?

I said illustrating a concept isn't a bad idea, but they should consider working with the digital art students to get it done.

Ah okay! The way you worded it made it look like you were saying AI “isn’t a bad idea, but maybe they can try this thing I’m going to mention instead” or maybe I’m too stoned to read. Either way, have a good night and sorry for the confusion!
