I can’t even think of any valid reason why Udemy would need GenAI. Closed my account. This is the type of behavior I will not accept from a company. If enough people stood up to the Reddit’s and Udemy’s of the world they may, … maybe, be more responsible towards their users and their partners (in this case the people posting courses in Udemy).

if they really cared about intellectual property rights, this would be OPT-IN.

I switched to in-person teaching a couple years ago and am glad I did. It’s been a challenging time as an instructor finding ways to make sure I’m added value.

I feel like even if they had “opted-out” it wouldn’t really matter because the AI would just learn their competitors course and teach it later. This is a strategy that works only when they all collectively opt-out or they don’t. Shady practice from Udemy for sure
