Today’s AI revolution isn’t an AI revolution at all. It’s a UX revolution.

If you used Netflix or Google products 10 years ago, you interacted with AI. But you weren’t supposed to know it. 

The predominant design philosophy of the time centered on hiding the AI but delivering magical moments like tailored movie recommendations and autocompleted email copy. GenAI changed all that.

Now, the AI systems are put directly into the hands of the end users. Everyone can be the builder; anyone can create a custom graphic, website, or entire app just about instantly. 

ChatGPT did a great job with creating a chat interface, but we haven’t even cracked the surface on the kinds of user interfaces that are possible. I can’t wait to see how this evolves. 

If you’re building interesting GenAI UX, tell me about it in the comments! 

I also expand on these topics in Samuel Durand's documentary about the future of work. You can check out a clip below, or watch the full documentary here: https://lnkd.in/eZfvEmT9
