When AI joins a team, team dynamics change. 🤖👥
A new study by Dr. Greta Ontrup (RC Trust, shared first authorship) shows:
➡️ less cohesion in human-AI teams
➡️ weaker identification with AI
➡️ but stable psychological safety
AI isn’t simply “another teammate”–it reshapes team dynamics.

Watch this video by a researcher who is demoing simulated #robot emotional body language. I think this research is Incredibly dangerous. We are giving machines the ability to manipulate us on an unconscious level. We WILL respond to them because we can’t help it. The robot’s loyalty, love, understanding is entirely fake because they don’t “feel”. If the robot expressions gave us honest insight into its real internal state, then it might be helpful. But I think what you would see, today, is complete indifference. I cannot see that changing.

With every brilliantly argued article like this I'm more and more convinced that the vast majority of product teams simply don’t give a shit about user experience anymore. Except for some niches with amazingly crafted products — small indie dev shops, typically — #UX as we used to know it is dead. Unadulterated #enshittification has taken over. And no, given the state of #HCI, I do not consider that statement hyperbole anymore. ☹️ https://hachyderm.io/@pheonix/116217093814614104

The current state of the web assumes that the reader is an adversary to be trapped and monetized. When a news website forces you through three dismissive actions just to read a headline, they are burning your cognitive budget before delivering any value. You are greeted by a cookie banner taking up the bottom 30% of your screen, a "Subscribe!" modal dead center, an autoplaying video pinned to the corner and a prompt begging to send you push notifications. I wrote about the state of news websites. Would love to hear your thoughts✨🙏 https://thatshubham.com/blog/news-audit #enshittification #darkpattern #web #technology #socialmedia #indieweb #ux #privacy

Persuasive Design: Ten Years Later — Smashing Magazine

Many product teams still lean on usability improvements and isolated behavioral tweaks to address weak activation, drop-offs, and low retention – only to see results plateau or slip into shallow gamification. Anders Toxboe updates persuasive design for today’s reality, clarifying what has actually held up over the last decade.
