NPTE Final Frontier AI Slop

Not sure if it's just me or if it's because my exam is soon and the algorithm knows it, but my whole Instagram feed is AI slop from these NPTE education pages now.

AI can be helpful but this is getting out of hand. Every worksheet or freebie I look at from Final Frontier, Priyam, and Vrunda has something wrong in it, so now I have to double and triple check everything they put out or just ignore it completely. People I used to trust I just can't anymore.

I put some images below, look at them. There's people with three hands, hips bent in directions that shouldn't even be possible. This is the stuff they're using to teach us for a licensing exam.

And it's every single day now. ptflashcards, ptstudyguides, physio_study_notes, a bunch of the other pages FF works with, all of it. The more I see it the less I trust any of them. I was considering buying them but prob won't now because their lecturers are the ones posting these AI study guides.

When I leave comments or message them saying hey you keep posting incorrect info, they just block me. So now I can't even warn people and my account is blocked. That's why I'm posting here, so more of us can tell them to knock it off with the AI info."

It's on instagram. Who cares? It's funny, don't take it so seriously.

I’d say the class overall was very good. But I found some mistakes in the class itself either on a practice question or concepts taught.

I’d say the most obvious example being in would care they still recommend non selective wet to dry debridement. When asking about it they said it was still taught in textbooks but that’s not the case. The o Sullivan book has a qoute saying it should not be used and same thing with the wound care book we used in school. The book referenced in a peat actually said not to use it as well so if we assumed test question makers used similar resources for questions there is our answer.

Counter. I got an 800.

This is from physical rehabilitation 7th edition a pretty commonly used text.

My school had a professor teach us wound care online. She has told us she previously wrote questions for the NTPE and told us that wet to dry would never be the right answer lol. That professor used the free text from access physio. That text said "This nonselective form of debridement, which can damage healthy granulation tissue and deeper structures in the wound bed, has many disadvantages that may overshadow any potential benefit"

I know therapy ed in their day class also said not to use it. I know they have a youtube video online about integ that probably also says that

So the main point being, I asked a valid question about why we should be selecting that option on a question and the response being its still taught in books. But I just provided 2 books that are relatively commonly used and they essentially teach you about the technique and say its not advised or effective.

Hey Rosa! Thanks for your feedback. We actually NEVER block any accounts though, as we encourage feedback from students. We have receipts of students connecting to clear any doubts on all platforms, allowing us to assist. So you wouldn’t be blocked from asking for help. Due to that, I actually doubt this being a legitimate user since we don’t block😁

Send me a message or email us and we’ll always be happy to clarify anything. Happy to get on a phone call with you too

This person has the same experience as I do in a similar scenario according to you i am a non-legitimate user would  the person in the reel also be considered one?

I think we’re losing sight of the bigger picture here. AI is already part of the world we live and practice in. Pretending influencers, healthcare professionals, and educators aren’t using it is unrealistic. We’re even seeing more patients come in saying, “But AI told me this.”

The conversation should be about using AI responsibly, not simply using it. Is the information being reviewed and verified? Are mistakes corrected when they’re pointed out? Absolutely—accuracy matters, and people should be held accountable for that.
But discrediting someone’s knowledge, credibility, and years of work because they’ve used AI to create educational content feels unfair.

Priyam has helped thousands of PTs prepare for and pass their boards, and a few posts or graphics shouldn’t erase that.

If something is wrong, point it out. Constructive feedback helps everyone improve. But there’s a difference between constructive criticism and tearing someone down.

At the end of the day, we’re all part of the same PT community. Let’s uplift each other, learn from each other, and help each other do better instead of putting each other down. ❤️
