The Ethics of Chat GPT
Dear Reader,
I'm so over the AI tools...
Every time I open social media, I see something like this:
If you're using ChatGPT, you're only scraping the surface. Check out these 100 AI tools to 10x your productivity!
π₯± The way we talk about these tools says a lot about our society.
The fact that we invented a plagiarism machine also says a lot about our society.
Don't get me wrong. I think the tool is useful.
I'm just saying it's about time we took a critical look at generative AI.
Thank goodness for Pete Armitage, your new favorite design ethicist. Pete wrote a little piece on the ethics behind Chat GPT.
As a UX writer, Pete brings a verrrrry unique perspective to the conversation. I think you'll enjoy it.

Last-Minute Halloween Costumes for Designers π by Jeff Humble Dear Reader, It's time to expose your designer trauma to the whole world. Itβs that time of year again, when weβre forced to stop nudging rectangles long enough to remember Halloween exists, and suddenly we need a costume tonight. But fear not! While normal humans panic-buy cat ears from a drugstore, we designers do what we do best: turn our professional pain into content. Here are 9 last-minute costumes for brave designers. 1. UX...
Before The Fountain Institute, there was Art School Dropout By Hannah Baker Dear Reader, In spring 2020, when the world had just gone remote, we ran a tiny experiment called Art School Dropout. It wasnβt about UX or product design. We didnβt even know thatβs where weβd end up focusing yet. It was about exploring the overlap between art and design, and figuring out how to make learning online feel human, creative, and social. We werenβt thinking about building a business yet. We were just...
