The hardest part of building training isn't writing it. It's getting the knowledge out of the expert's head.

You are an instructional designer. Interview me about how I do [task]. Ask one question at a time. Push for the steps I might skip, the mistakes beginners make, and the moments where I make a judgment call. After 10 questions, summarize the process as a step-by-step outline.
Ten minutes later you have what a blank page never gives you: the hidden steps.
The expert brings the knowledge. AI brings the questions. You bring the structure.
