After some (human) real sweat and tears, happy to let this out in the open!
A podcast on AI user experience design that I, humble human, started, with AI & non AI tools.
I hope you enjoy it and tell what matches expectations or not
The very first Speak aiPod001 is out!
Speak-001: Unfiltered AI UX Design Translations (no visuals)
In this Speak aiPod 001, we (the AI & I) are slowly unpacking the at time hilarious truth about AI user experience design. We’re moving from naive optimism to destructive honesty. We’re peeling back the layers of what really happens when designers try to make AI work for actual humans.
Jakob Nielsen is also playing with AI (self-)irony – but calls it out as banter.
AI Format Remixing: Text to Discussion and Video Presentation
From UX Tigers article, there:
One of the advanced uses of AI I encourage you to embrace is the use of AI for remixing of content into alternate media types. As an example, I took last week’s article Design Leaders Should Go “Founder Mode” and repurposed the ideas in that article into two new formats:
- A 2-minute video presentation, where I used an AI-generated avatar as the presenter.
- A 5-minute bantering podcast discussion, made with NotebookLM.
For the video presentation, I generated the presenter with the new avatar service Humva. I was not happy with the avatar’s voice. The tool has options for alternate emotions, such as “excited,” but I found them too exaggerated, so I stuck with the default.
While Humva has its downsides, usability is high: you pick an avatar from a scrolling list of pre-designed options and upload the manuscript. One click (and half an hour’s wait!) produces the video. This is much easier than other AI avatar services with more features and capabilities, such as HeyGen.
