In this episode, Jay Clouse interviews Mark Shust about the impact of AI on creators, particularly in the education sector. They discuss AI's evolution from a "toy" to a cause of concern, its potential to replace jobs, and the fear and resistance it generates among developers and educators. Shust shares his experiences using AI for coding and personal/business coaching, emphasizing the importance of learning how to prompt and collaborate effectively with AI. They explore the idea of AI as a personalized, patient, and nearly free teacher, and how this might change the traditional course creation model. Shust suggests a shift towards "atomic lessons" that can be reassembled by AI to provide customized learning experiences. The conversation also covers the role of community and human connection in education, and the need for creators to adapt to the changing landscape while maintaining their unique value.
