This study explores the potential of modern generative models for automatically generating educational task texts. Building on prior research in educational task generation, we focused on leveraging generative artificial intelligence to create tasks based on textbook content, leading to the development of a multiple-choice educational task generator. This tool, powered by a large language model, empowers educators to independently craft tasks for their courses. In the experiments, teachers from various disciplines were involved in selecting topics for the generation of educational materials. The results demonstrate the capability of modern large language models to generate simple text-based multiple-choice questions suitable for use. While the current need for manual verification and refinement of distractors by educators presents a challenge, it is anticipated that generative AI will address this soon. The study sheds light on the potential of generative AI in education.
