AI is everywhere right now, writing posts, creating images, answering questions, and promising to save us time. But is it actually helping… or are we creating a whole new set of problems?In this episode, I’m joined by AI educator Colette Mason to dig into the growing world of “AI slop”, low-quality, inaccurate, AI-generated content that’s flooding social media and beyond.We explore the dangers of blindly trusting AI, from misinformation and privacy concerns to losing our own critical thinking and creativity. We also discuss where AI can genuinely help, where it absolutely shouldn’t replace human judgment, and how driving instructors can use it responsibly.This isn’t an anti-AI episode.Use AI as a tool, just don’t let it do your thinking for you.Colette has also created a 'Privacy Pack', driving instructors, discounted to £1.50 for 50 people - <a href="https://thetiredownershop.etsy.com/?coupon=THEINSTRUCTORPODCAST" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">access it here</a><a href="https://cleverclogsai.com/ai-data-privacy/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">And visit Clever Clogs AI here</a>🔥 Get More Than Just Test Passes - Join the Premium MembershipIf you're a driving instructor who wants to teach better, earn more, and stand out from the crowd, the Premium membership is where it happens.
