The #Design process is the #Thinking process - Anything you offload to an #LLM is something you don't know

(1/3) Love this #AI-assistance checklist from Lars Faye: 1. If I did not have access to an AI tool, could I still accomplish this? 2. Am I using the model to deepen my understanding, or expedite the answer? 3. If I had to audit/verify the generated output, could I explain what was happening?

#AI can make the #UI. It cannot yet understand or design what the UI means. You cannot #Automate what you do not #Understand. Defining processes, e.g., #UserJourneys; understanding #Goals, defining #Entities and properties, meaning and #Constraints is #UX's role. Defining the #Ontology is the job.

Being an #Expert in one field (e.g., #Language) doesn’t make you an expert in all fields - or why #LLMs can't solve #WorldModel problems

I couldn't agree more with S. Goedecke For many tasks, the #human is the bottleneck, not the #LLM, because the difficult part is in #communicating to the LLM exactly what kind of solution the human wants. The information is “in the model” already, but it takes a very #SmartHuman to pull it out.

Highlighting isn’t reading comprehension. Studies show it barely improves retention. Summarizing in your own words does. #BookSky

Completely agree... "For routine predictable work might make sense to delegate to a virtual #copilot / assistant. But when you’re shooting for extraordinary outcomes, perhaps the best bet is to equip human #experts with new superpowers." @geoffreylitt.com

Heard on a #WorldCup game tonight… “The ref knows the #rules of the game without #understanding the game.“ Reminds me of #LLMs There is a gap between #memorization and #strategic execution. #LLMs know how pieces move, but lack the situational awareness needed to win/adapt.

The world is not made of words @drfeifei.bsky.social Just like the shadows on Plato's cave walls, #LLMs confuse semantic relationships with the world. And are completely unaware of actual objects.

New favorite term from @neurosciencenews.bsky.social #EmptyMimicry: the act of copying the behaviors, aesthetics, or ideas of others without understanding the underlying concepts or reasons behind them. It results in hollow, unproductive outcomes because the substance of the action is missing.

Love this from Caleb Gross... “If you’re going to use an LLM to write me an email, I’d much rather you just send me the prompt; at least then I’d have an idea of what you actually meant to say.”

The hard part of #UX_Design has never been the creating of a UI. It was building a working #MentalModel of the #Domain in your head first. The UI was simply an expression of that understanding. Acquiring the understanding was the job. Using AI #ShortCircuits that understanding.

Adrian Levy raises an important question every product manager needs to consider: If you built "your" product today, from scratch, knowing what AI can do — would it look anything like what you have?

I see a lot of posts talking about #FreeIntelligence with #AI. But is it really free if it suppresses #System1 and circumvents #System2? Will it lead to #CognitiveSurrender (Shaw & Nave 2026)? There is always a cost.

"When we say that AI systems “hallucinate,” we implicitly confer on them a capacity for experience. If we must use a human analogy, it would be far better to say that they “confabulate.” In humans, confabulation involves making things up without realizing it." @anilseth.bsky.social

I think @rusty.todayintabs.com has it right A.I. discourse is going to be cursed with hucksters, hype beasts, doomsayers, and con artists on every side for the foreseeable future so it unfortunately behooves us to understand what this technology is, and what it isn’t.

Stop thinking of AI as your new coworker. It’s actually an exoskeleton. It gives you superhuman strength to move data and code, but it still requires your own legs and logic to walk in the right direction. 🦾🧠 www.kasava.dev/blog/ai-as-e... #AI #UXDesign

another great quote @pluralistic.net.web.brid.gy Throwing more words and GPUs into the word-guessing program won't make it sentient. That's like saying, "Well, we keep breeding these horses to run faster and faster, so it's only a matter of time until one of our mares gives birth to a locomotive."

Can any of today's (or tomorrow's) LLMs understand affordances from a Gibsonian perspective? The idea that we perceive the world not as a collection of objects but as a field of action possibilities.

Why chat fails - 100% agree "The problem isn’t that the model is incapable of understanding the request. The problem is that the interface is too ambiguous for the level of precision the user expects. Language carries nuance, but it also carries room for misinterpretation." @davidhoang.com
