Generative AI is very helpful for getting started on teaching and learning materials–it can organize an impressive amount of details and make many useful suggestions–but AI will never replace the instructor. As the instructor you bring your knowledge, expertise, experience, personality, and creativity to making any teaching resource your own, especially those you have begun with AI.
