JeromeI just finished a usability study of an online, data-intensive tool for use on ships at sea.

JeromeFor user research, a client required I use a tool that has an AI meeting-summary function.The document is quite good, though not entirely accurate, as might be expected.The summary is at times nicely nuanced, but the AI did miss the intent of the "meeting"—a usability test. The AI avoided identifying (task) failure, which is the very thing we want to identify, and instead used gentle phrases that protect the participant's reputation.<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/usability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#usability</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/research" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#research</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/UsabilityResearch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#UsabilityResearch</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/UR" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#UR</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/UX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#UX</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AI</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/LLM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#LLM</a>
