🤖 How does ChatGPT fit into a UX writing practice? More than just copy/microcopy generation, we can use it for ideation, inspiration, and brainstorming.
Check out tons of use cases, including ones for research and design: usability testing, competitor analysis, generating user flows, and so much more.
Take a few seconds and try to make sense of this drop-down menu for sorting files.
Which is it: last opened, or newest first? Turns out, the “Newest to oldest” selection isn’t about how new or old the files are—it’s how recently they were opened.
The confusion is from the difference in meaning between “newest” and “most recent.” A case of poor language leading to a confusing user experience.

PORTFOLIO 🖌
Excellent site and portfolio by Aeesha McOseni, a Franglophone Content Designer based in Benin. Check out some of the great design decisions, like having the “Schedule a meet” button front and center.
And in the creepiest AI story this week, an AI version of famed quarterback Tom Brady gave an hour-long standup routine. It’s impressive, but it’s also incredibly vulgar. 🙊💩 You’ve been warned.
Finally, one of the biggest improvements in GPT-4 is its ability to generate text in languages other than English. So, will it impact localization? Yes—yes, it
will.
“GPT-4 is capable of generating highly accurate translations in multiple languages, as well as providing context-aware localization services.”
