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.

Does the Double Diamond make sense for AI-enabled teams? by Jeff Humble Dear Reader, For twenty years, the Double Diamond has been our north star. Discover, Define, Develop, Deliver. It's elegant. It's teachable. It's in every junior's UX case study. And it made senseβ¦when it was created. All that upfront research made economic sense when coding was the most expensive part of the process. Better to get it right before handoff because it's expensive for engineering to make changes later. But...
When Frameworks Fail and Gut Feelings Take Over By Hannah Baker Dear Reader, You know that moment when the data looks clear, the framework is airtight, and yet something in your stomach says, donβt do it? Thatβs judgment, the quiet, inconvenient voice that shows up when the evidence has already spoken. Itβs also the thing most of us struggle to explain, even though our careers depend on it.
