This was a very thoughtful piece Rohan, I really enjoyed it! There are fundamental principles that Product folks should consider before integrating AI with their products before it changes the experience entirely.
Here's hoping there's a future for thoughtful AI product development.
Thanks, Vincent—really glad to hear it! The products that prioritize UX will stand out, and I think that will drive more teams to do the same across the board.
It definitely seems that, while the tech is transformative, the hype just went way overboard. Most discussions just end up being about the end of the world, or how we shouldn’t care about learning cause we can outsource our thoughts.
The sheer force with which it is being forced upon is not exactly helping the discussion, either.
Thanks, Rasmus! Exactly–it's too easy to get caught up in the hype and marketing and miss how these AI features are actually being implemented. I hope we can think through the UX tradeoffs before just tacking AI onto everything, since it fundamentally changes both the user experience and value proposition.

Powerful comparison with the blank page, Rohan.
