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?

5 More Signals about the Future of AI Interactions by Jeff Humble Dear Reader, The way we interact with AI is changing, and it fascinates me. How will we interact with AI in 2035? Signals give us a hint. What are signals? Signals = surprising examples from today that suggest where the future might end up. Last year, I did part 1, and now I want to share 5 more. Signal #1: Google built an AI-enabled mouse pointer from Google DeepMind This is a signal that I think will catch on fast. The Google...
Which parts of your work do you actually want to keep? By Hannah Baker This one's a few days late; life got in the way. Back to our regular scheduled broadcast next week. For a long time, I was using Claude the same way most people do. As a chat function. A thinking partner. Something to help me get things done. But I kept running into the same problem. Every new conversation, I'd have to re-explain everything, my tone, my formatting, what I needed the output to look like. So I'd stay in the...
7 Tells that a UI is AI-Generated by Jeff Humble Dear Reader, You can see a vibe-coded app from a mile away, if you know what to look for. Here are seven design patterns that scream amateur vibe coder. Learn them, avoid them, and stay above the rising tide of slop, my friends. 1. Neon color palette from IceWhistle If it's vibe-coded, it's gotta be neon. To slop this one up to the max, use 5+ neon colors and never pick a single one to focus. Why AI loves it: Neon-on-dark is overrepresented in...
