Useful post from Jakob Nielsen on the evolution of human computer interaction. He characterizes the era we are entering as 'intent based.' It is worth pausing here to think about what 'intent' means and what it means to be intentional. I am still thinking about this, but one way to get at this is that it is the opposite or rote work. We often hear people say that AI automates work and replaces rote work. This is not what is happening with generative AI. Generative AI is responding to our intentions, it seems to infer what we intend to do. One of the things I appreciate about Perplexity.ai is the way it parses a prompt and can ask for clarification. 1. Batch processing: very efficient in CPU, but terrible for users. 2. Line-mode UI: still very efficient CPU use, still terrible usability, but a little better than batch processing. 3. Full-screen UI: this interface style required more computation, mainly on the back end, which had to keep track of everything on the screen instead of just the last few characters typed by the user. Full-screen terminals also needed more electronics to render the full-screen UI and allow for form-filling across this expanse, compared to earlier terminals that simply scrolled the previous lines of text up the screen. 4. Graphical user interfaces (GUI): very computationally intensive, both in terms of calculating what should be shown where, and in terms of rendering these pixels on the screen. 5. Intent-based outcome specification: the new AI-driven interaction style where users specify what they want to happen rather than the detailed commands needed to achieve this outcome. Super-demanding of compute power for AI inference. (Also, as a one-time expense, even more demanding of the AI learning compute to build the foundation model driving the inference.) https://lnkd.in/dYfFaxyh #AI #UI #UX #intentionalcomputing

Interesting article alert: AI, the first new UI paradigm in 60 years by Jakob Nielsen. Shifting from command based human computer interaction to intent based outcome specification. Intrigued by how AI is revolutionizing user interfaces? Jakob Nielsen's article dives into this fascinating journey. 🤖💡 This paradigm shift should not only inform us about the recent changes, you should also arm yourself with the knowledge to stay relevant as designers. Key Insights: • AI as a paradigm shift: From command-based interaction to specifying outcomes. • Evolution of UI: A historical perspective on how we've interacted with technology. • Challenges & Potential: Balancing AI's role in enhancing vs. replacing traditional UI elements. Nielsen's article is a must-read for anyone interested in the evolving interface between humans and computers. It's not just a technological leap; it's a new way of thinking about our interactions with machines. #AI #UserInterface #TechInnovation #UXDesign #Design #UX #UI

Designing UX for AI products and their variabilities is an exciting challenge. From a technical standpoint, knowing the Constitutional AI (CAI), a set of user-defined principles to guide the LLM, combined with Confidence Scores—though not always available for Gen AI—will help guide the UX “critical moments” and help prepare you for the future experience when the models improve and become more capable of actions. Now, aligning your roadmap to dovetail with technological advancements and time it with a product launch—now that's even more exciting.

R.I.P. Visual Prototype 🔍 Stay Tuned for a Reveal: I’ll soon be publishing my paper titled “Revolutionising AI Experiments: Integrating OpenAI’s APIs for Dynamic, Real-Data Driven Innovation for Business-Specific Applications.” This paper marks the first in a series dedicated to designing in the age of Large Language Models (LLMs) and other AI models. It’s more than just a paper; it’s a deep dive into the future of design, where data is the interface…Gone are the days when clickable prototypes and visual elements alone dictated user interaction. In the age of Generative AI, we’re witnessing a monumental shift: Data is now at the heart of the user experience. #openai #design #ux #chatgtp

Fascinating article about the rise of the Model Designer! 🤯 As a UX designer, I'm always interested in how our field can evolve and adapt to new technologies. The idea of designers shaping AI models themselves, not just the interfaces for using them, is truly groundbreaking. 🧠 🖥️ 💻📱 The article highlights the importance of Model Designers addressing issues like bias, privacy, and hallucinations in the models themselves. This is crucial for ensuring that AI is used responsibly and ethically. 🙌 I'm also intrigued by the idea of collaborating on shaping datasets and creating prompts for users. This opens up a whole new world of possibilities for how we can design AI-powered experiences. ✨ Overall, I think the Model Designer role is a positive development for our field. It requires a unique blend of technical knowledge, excellent writing, and a deep understanding of user experience. 🖥️ 💻📱 #modelDesigner #AI #UXdesign #futureofdesign

If we don't know each other, *following* might be a better option than connecting. I post about responsible AI, qualitative research methods, workplace culture, feminism.
Why do we call it *appropriate* reliance on AI? Because people need to figure out when (not) to trust AI outputs, when to check them carefully and when to accept them and move on. We can’t always check and verify the way a cat inspects every new item brought into the house 😹. That balance is hard to foster - but the way to do that is with careful UX design & testing.
