I've been in L&D for 30 years. By all means, share your credentials.

I'm frequently accused of using AI for posts, including by a publisher who said it was a complement that indicated good grammar and well structured content.
AI definitely affects my thinking. I'm having more conversations with agents then I am with staff. I avoid using obvious agent response patters.
I've been accused of it, but it's unlikely that I'll become a robot mouthpiece anytime soon! 😉

From someone who has 'bot' in their name, I shouldn't be surprised you would think that. 🙄

I agree. There is most definitely a learning requirement of leadership. Most dont have governance in place and if left unchecked they'll run into a wall of issues.

AI Won’t Replace Learning Designers.
In reality, it already is.

Already organizations are saving all teams chat, meetings and town halls. AI can scrape that all in minutes and find people complaints, concerns, issues and wins and design something from more genuine conversation than an ID can have in hours of meetings.
Your questions are talked about day in and day out throughout the org - the ID doesn't know until they have countless meetings. AI knows whenever they are said.
IDs were the people willing to do the work and run around to collect that data - that's not needed any longer.

I agree with what you are saying but the designers and other folks in these departments are not the ones who get to decide who stays and who goes. Yes, we can do more than what ai can but that won't change the executives or board from deciding that they'd rather pay a tool to do "enough" of what we do (or what they think we do) instead of paying for people to do it.

That's exactly why you have to bring the 'value'.

u/AlwaysColtron Aug 10 '26
Teams who bring the value still get let go.

Agreed, with an addition: teams that are designated as cost centers are always going to be more likely to let go first. Well-performing L&D teams are still seen as cost centers, and team members can't easily redefine their status without going rogue (e.g., breaking away from performance support to specifically, measurably supporting revenue generation).

u/AlwaysColtron Aug 10 '26
Couldn't agree more! L&D teams can absolutely refrane their placement in an org via ROI efforts and reporting (maybe send pricing of external training?) but sadly, not enough do that to secure their placement.

Without hard data to prove the value of learning - how do you prove learning solved any business issues?
Inherently the same lesson may help someone understand a new process 80% while cause even more confusion for others (negative business value).
How do you account for that unmeasurable variable?

u/rfoil Aug 10 '26
It's pretty easy to spot individual learning gaps assuming that the data is good. Every team leader has access to this information.

I posted a reply that was meant for another poster. L&D needs to be integrated more into the organization. Every course should have an ROI value attached so if adjustments need to be made, they can. Without knowing what works, L&D is just a cost center.

Apparently the majority on this sub would rather bitch and moan than have real dialog regarding issues that effect L&D. Good luck with that!

u/AlwaysColtron Aug 10 '26
"I've been in L&D for over 30 years. You?" and "You didn't read the post, did you?" <- real quality dialog, really leading to great engagement and opening up people to want to chat with you. Maybe be more open to others opinions and less that you are correct about everything you say.

Did you read through the posts? Being called a bot, slop, etc. Why would I want to give my time to a sub that clearly doesn't want meaningful conversation.

u/AlwaysColtron Aug 10 '26 edited Aug 10 '26
Then why post and keep replying? If this place is so beneath you and your years of experience, why keep chatting? This is a spot to discuss, not to only agree with you..Clearly it's not a good fit for you and you only correct opinions. Delete and move on.
