A community of over 800,000 leaders, thinkers, and doers. UX Magazine was created to deliver a central place to discuss the critical disciplines that all enhance user experience. Extraordinary user experiences should be the goal of every interaction you deliver to your users at any level. All too often, businesses (large and small) get it horribly wrong. It’s painful to watch and even worse when it happens to you. Every month we combine original articles with the best from blogs and online media to deliver an online magazine that covers the best new thinking on design, strategy, technology and common sense. We believe that the more businesses can bring ideas from these 4 critical disciplines inside their business the better the user experiences they deliver will be.

Has what it means to be a journalist, researcher, academic, and full-time author already been rewritten?
"The Writing Guy" | I write about writing, learning and business | Founder & CEO, Write of Passage
This AI boom has set off an existential crisis in me. Some background: I’ve been teaching writing for the past six years. In that time, I developed frameworks for how to write well and a reputation as a good teacher to learn from. Partially because of the AI wave, I decided to stop teaching. It has only been four months since I shut down my business, but I can no longer imagine teaching writing in a way that resembles anything close to the way I taught in the past. The reason is simple: The world of non-fiction writing has fundamentally changed, and many of the skills I've developed and built my career on are becoming increasingly irrelevant. The amount of expertise required to out-do an LLM is rising fast. For example, the quality of a well-prompted, ChatGPT Deep Research report is already higher than what I can produce in a day's worth of work on almost any subject. The question is: What kinds of non-fiction writing will continue to last? Here’s a heuristic: The more a piece of writing comes from personal experience, the less it’s likely to be overtaken by AI. Personal writing, like biographies and memoirs, aren’t going away anytime soon. That's because people have data about their lives that LLMs don’t have. Having a unique perspective helps too. This is Peter Thiel's famous interview question: "What very important truth do few people agree with you on?” If you have an idiosyncratic way of looking at the world, you don't have much to worry about. The common thread here is humanity. People are also interested in people. Their stories, their struggles, their emotions, their drama, their unique insights into how the world works. AI will be tougher on writers than it is on readers. Sure readers will have to endure some AI slop, but you can pretty easily avoid it if you're halfway intentional about what you consume. The challenge for non-fiction writers is that every piece of non-fiction writing now competes with the output of ever-improving LLMs and Deep Research reports. I'd say that half of what I read is now LLM-generated (and since time is finite, that means less of my attention is going to human-generated writing). Given everything I’ve said above would I tell my writing students if today was the first day of class? I'd start by saying that the bar has been raised. You aren’t just competing against other humans anymore. You're competing against ever-improving LLMs. Fortunately, those same LLMs can help you write better. They’ll instantly give you 80th percentile feedback on your writing, and you can talk through your ideas with them whenever you’re stuck. That's just the beginning, and only a fool would ignore these advancements. Know this: What it means to be a journalist, researcher, academic, and full-time author is being rewritten. (And yes, I used AI to write this post).

📚 Friday Book Recommendation: What Is Life? Evolution as Computation by Blaise Aguera y Arcas, Google CTO of Technology & Society In What Is Life?, Blaise Agüera y Arcas presents a revolutionary perspective on life, evolution, and computation. Inspired by Schrödinger’s 1944 classic, Agüera y Arcas dives into how life and its complexities emerge from simple laws in an increasingly chaotic universe. His compelling thesis: life is inherently computational, evolving through symbiotic relationships over time. This book is also the first part of Agüera y Arcas's larger work, What Is Intelligence? https://lnkd.in/dANrWZcF, which further explores the computational and symbiotic nature of intelligence, from simple organisms to human brains and AI. A must-read for anyone curious about the intersection of life, intelligence, and technology through the lens of computation. 🔗 Check it out: https://lnkd.in/dhttM42N 🎙️ Also, don't miss the recent episode of Invisible Machines, where Blaise Agüera y Arcas, Robb W., and Josh Tyson discuss this book, life, intelligence, and the evolving relationship between humanity and technology. This conversation offers rich insights worth hearing: https://lnkd.in/dXX_5wEd #AI #Evolution #Symbiosis #ArtificialLife #Intelligence #Technology #ScienceBooks #AIPodcast

“The harder the goal, the more important it is to reduce complexity into clarity and simplicity. “ said Dan Goldin, who literally sent projects to Mars and who is our guest in the soon to be dropped next episode of the Invisible Machines podcast.
Advancing 🇺🇸 Deep Tech Innovation | 9th NASA Chief | ISS + Webb + 61 Astronaut Missions
We must fight our nature to overcomplicate. This is a habit, one that hinders us from achieving hard goals. As a leader of the hard things you need to get to used to establishing requirements that are: 1 / clear 2 / and simple The harder the goal, the more important it is to reduce complexity into clarity and simplicity. It's unintuitive, I know. When I became NASA Administrator, the last time the US had landed a spacecraft on Mars was in the 1970s. In '92 we launched the Mars Observer. The criteria at the time were to save money by modifying an existing geostationary satellite and we had thousands of pages of requirements. Needless to say we lost contact with it before it ever reached Mars orbit. It was a ~$1 billion, ~10 year project. Fast forward to '96 when we launched the Mars Pathfinder. We reduced the requirements down to three objectives: 1 / Land safely on Mars 2 / Deploy a robot 3 / Do good science Upon successful landing on July 4, 1997 the Pathfinder team marked the US return on the Martian surface. It was a ~$300 million, ~3 year project. Somewhere along the way, we forgot to teach young people the basic principles of simplicity and clarity. I love this community and this is something I wish for all people pursuing the hard things.

So you wrote the prompt - does that mean you're the author of content created with generative AI? If you're using #genai in your creative process, you should probably know the answer. 👀 👇🏼
Did the US Copyright office just declare that AI is the artist, not the tool? 🤖 🎙️ In this episode, Robb W. and Josh Tyson welcome back Ed Klaris, Managing Partner at Klaris Law PLLC and professor at Columbia Law School, to dive into Part 2 of the U.S. Copyright Office’s ongoing report on the copyrightability of artificial intelligence https://lnkd.in/gegJ4N6r. Klaris shares critical insights into what these legal updates mean if the US Copyright office’s new report raises more questions than answers. 🎧 Listen https://lnkd.in/dkf2RNVx or ▶️ watch https://lnkd.in/dDjz-4hm the full episode. #AI #TechPodcast #AIAgents #GenerativeAI #AICopyright #AIRegulation #LegalTech

UX Magazine reposted this
Practice Leader and OneCouncil Program Lead @ HFS Research | Driving Enterprise Innovation
A new study from Microsoft and Carnegie Mellon University found that increased reliance on GenAI in the workplace leads to decreased critical thinking. The study surveyed 319 knowledge workers and found that higher trust in AI correlates with reduced critical analysis, evaluation, and reasoned judgment. This pattern is particularly concerning because these essential cognitive abilities - once diminished through lack of regular use, are difficult to restore. The key insight here is the gradual tradeoff happening in workplaces: as AI tools become more capable and trusted, humans may be unconsciously trading their deep cognitive capabilities for convenience and speed.
