I am 100% convinced just from my own experiences that tech companies are knowingly, purposely putting "AI" buttons and links near commonly-used buttons or links in user interfaces to encourage accidental clicking and increase their usage numbers. AI usage numbers are dismal, and surveys repeatedly show large majorities of people do not want these features.<br><br><a href="/tags/ai/" rel="tag">#AI</a> <a href="/tags/genai/" rel="tag">#GenAI</a> <a href="/tags/generativeai/" rel="tag">#GenerativeAI</a> <a href="/tags/darkpatterns/" rel="tag">#DarkPatterns</a> <a href="/tags/ui/" rel="tag">#UI</a> <a href="/tags/ux/" rel="tag">#UX</a> <a href="/tags/userinterface/" rel="tag">#UserInterface</a> <a href="/tags/tech/" rel="tag">#tech</a> <a href="/tags/dev/" rel="tag">#dev</a><br>

<p>Penpot is a free open source interface design platform based around open standards. It's web-based and can be used collaboratively on any OS.

<p>In the Starfleet Technical Manual, there is a throwaway detail of the LCARS user interface that when it is upgraded, users can still utilize the previous several versions. This is because their work is mission-critical and it is unacceptable to compromise the mission by forcing unfamiliar changes; eventual retraining is part of their job, but the flexibility allows them to take the retraining at their own pace.</p><p>I think about this from time-to-time and how this is still a sci-fi idea that is seen all too rarely in how we do actual computer UIs.</p><p><a href="/tags/startrek/" rel="tag">#StarTrek</a> <a href="/tags/lcars/" rel="tag">#LCARS</a> <a href="/tags/ui/" rel="tag">#UI</a></p>
