The first time I heard about GitHub Copilot I was like WOW. It was far before the hype for artificial intelligence, and it was already promising an AI-powered system to speed up the work of developers. The teaser video showed a system that was able to predict what you wanted to write and write it down even before you could think about it. I was excited, but the system was not available yet, plus it was said it was compatible in the beginning only with web-related programming languages.

For example, even a simple phrase like “got milk” translates to “are you lactating” in Mexico. Can you imagine what a straight translation might do to your course? With over 317 million people in the US and over 6.7 billion potential customers in the world, personalizing training seems logical.

Since when has learning and development (L&D) become such a negative experience with its intended learners? Could it be because learners have been conditioned by very poor learning experiences over the past two decades, combined with the kinks of technological innovation? Or is it because learning has typically been designed as a one-size-fits-all solution, despite the fact that humans are not clones?
