## AI 摘要

Josh W. Comeau 新课程 Whimsical Animations 销量仅约为典型课程的三分之一；前两门课程销量也比去年显著下降。他认为主要原因来自 AI：开发者担心职业前景而不愿投入时间金钱学习新技能，且 LLM 能提供个性化辅导，降低购买付费课程的动力。多位课程创作者收入下降超过 50%，用户转向 LLM 获取未经授权的内容。

I just launched my third course, Whimsical Animations, and so far, it’s on track to sell roughly ⅓ as many copies as a typical course launch.

It’s a similar story with my two existing courses. Sales are down significantly from last year.

There are likely a lot of reasons for this, but I think the biggest is AI. There’s sort of a double whammy with AI:

Many people are wondering whether developer jobs will even exist in a few months, so they’re reluctant to spend time/money learning new dev skills.

Even if they do want to learn new dev skills, LLMs can provide personalized tutoring, so there’s less incentive to buy a paid course.

[...] I’ve spoken to a few course creators now, and we’re all seeing the same trend. Revenue down 50%+. Fewer people engaging with our content. People switching to LLMs, which slurp up all of our work and regurgitate it, without consent or compensation.
