What is it about?
GenAI has received considerable attention in many fields, but how can it be applied in education? Traditional methods often fail to account for individual needs and interests, so can GenAI help educators revolutionize their teaching by offering a more personalized approach? Our study examines how GPT-4 can be used for personalization of study materials in a programming course to explore this uncharted territory.

Why is it important?
We offered thematically personalized programming exercises created with GPT-4 to a group of students. Our findings show that they were overwhelmingly satisfied with the exercises and preferred choosing certain themes over random ones. Thus, GenAI can produce contextualized programming exercises of high quality, which can be used for teaching programming.
Perspectives
I hope this article showcases how GenAI can be applied in an area that is often left out of discussion about technological progress. Education is the cornerstone of our society, and I am optimistic about new possibilities AI offers in this field.
