A new paper investigates the effectiveness of generative AI tools in creating educational slides from instructor notes. Researchers found that coding assistants like Cursor and Claude produced the most accurate and pedagogically sound slides. When used in a real course, students perceived AI-generated slides as being of similar quality to instructor-created ones and could not reliably distinguish between them, even associating AI generation with lower quality.
