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!
🥱 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.

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.
