AI Ethics for Designers 🎥
Dear Reader,
You can use generative AI ethically.
To date, I haven't heard a sound approach for dealing with the ethics of Chat GPT, so I was keen to hear this month's meetup, AI Ethics for Designers, by Pete Armitage...especially since Pete is a UX writer.
How would an ethics expert and UX writer think about Chat GPT?

My takeaways:
- Without transparency reports, ethics commitments are hollow
- We should hold AI tools to higher standards than humans
- Anonymize your Chat GPT data with Amnesia​
Oppenheimer and Barbie premiere tonight, and somebody finally made a "Barbenheimer" trailer:
​Watch the Barbenheimer trailer here​
Some people suggest seeing both movies in one night, and there are guides about which order to see them and why. I think it's safe to say this "double-premiere" thing was an organic meme thing because the studios don't appear to have really embraced it. I shudder to think of the marketing execs meeting in board rooms to plan co-premieres at this very moment. I kinda feel like anyone that watches Barbie and Oppenheimer on the same night is going to get a raw glimpse into the belly of the beast that is late-stage capitalism. Which brings me to my next question: are you more of a Barbie or an Oppenheimer person?

Written by a human, not by AI Dear Reader, Last week, some of you were gracious enough to give me some feedback on the newsletter. (You can still do it at the bottom). Someone left a review that said, "AI Slop" without any other context. And it got me thinking... You might be assuming that this newsletter is written by AI. Today, I'll let you in on a little secret: I still write by hand. And I plan to keep writing this newsletter by hand. I'm not gonna lie, I tried to get AI to write the...
