AI is now coming for UX

newsletter.uxdesign.cc

In the past decade, when looking at the level of individual companies, AI exposure has correlated with reduced hiring. Thanks to AI, firms are not only changing the job requirements for their roles—but they are also hiring less overall. We finally see the effects on “skilled” labor that we’ve already seen for “routine” labor; no longer can we say that our creative roles are AI-proof. Empirical evidence is building for what economists have long predicted.

This week, we saw the announcement of at least two services that show UX is coming up pretty soon on that list: Genius, a designer copilot which understands what you’re designing and makes smart suggestions, and Galileo, another AI that might be able to replace designers altogether. Designers obviously rushed to sign up for the waitlist, and many publicly state they are excited to start testing those tools.

Make me think

The strangely beautiful experience of Google Reviews →
“Most of the time, reviews alternate between angry, comically banal, and downright bizarre. There’s a darker layer, too — instances in which reviews have been used to retaliate against businesses for political or social reasons.”

For your next side project, make a browser extension →
“Because the browser DOM can be hacked in open-ended ways, it’s possible to build extensions that modify the behavior of an app in ways that the original creators never anticipated or intended to support.”

The market for lemons →
“Not only are new services being built to a self-defeatingly low UX and performance standard, existing experiences are pervasively re-developed on unspeakably slow, JS-taxed stacks.”
