AI training courses

October 17, 2025

The training materials were fair. The AI voice had very poor diction, mispronouncing a few words and getting the emphasis wrong in several sentences. The negative effect was very noticeable, to me. The exam was significantly worse. At least 5 questions has contradictory or poorly written answer pools. Is it really so difficult to hire an extra HR generalist to write training courses?
