Forget confusing flat design and minimalism; a return to skeuomorphic ui, with big elements that can be laid out in ways that are comfortable to them. We're talking the revenge of Microsoft Bob. #ui #ux #skeuomorphism #microsoftbob

"Confronted with its lack of sources, the program excuses itself; it was created this way. It’s almost as if it claims to be some kind of truth in and of itself while pointing to its creators for further evidence. Like other publications making the same claim, #AI doesn’t spring into existence; it is a selective mirror created by humans."

I've written about #ChatGPT, how it seems to always be mindlessly wrong and how it struggles to discern itself from #MicrosoftBob
