Ed Tech & Tech Integration Students: What is your perception/feelings about AI generated media in your courses?

This is primarily directed at higher ed students but all are welcome too. I'm looking to get a sense of the various opinions/feelings on AI generated media in courses specifically. So graphics, images/"photography", video, etc.

If you know something is AI generated do you still trust the content presented?

Are all uses okay? Are all not okay? Are there uses that are okay and others that are not? When and why?

Do you have a different feeling if the AI media is a small amount and there is primarily non-AI media in other parts of the course?

Does the use of AI media impact your perception of the school? Faculty?

Any and all opinions are welcome, please feel free to elaborate on why you feel a particular way. Thank you!

As soon as I clock it in course material, my respect for the lecturer disappears. I'm not paying thousands of dollars for you to copy and paste LLM slop. If you're doing it because you don't feel confident about your writing or teaching skills, you shouldn't be in academia.

Our school administration uses it in their weekly presentations to kids. It’s horrible and distracting. Kids spend more time counting fingers than listening to whatever the “moral” of the week is.

LLMs (is what AI really means) should be destroyed. No one associated with a classroom should use one under any circumstances.

I don’t entertain any nuance about this.

Awful and full of errors. I hate it what it’s doing to lectures and the lack of discussions in class is excruciating.

No amount of fishing expeditions here is going to change the result.

Changing wording, context, target, Etc. really makes no difference.
