Why Most 'AI-Powered' Products Still Feel Dumb-And How Designers Can Fix That
Briefly

The article critiques the current state of AI products, noting that many claim to be "AI-powered" but fail to deliver meaningful user experiences. Users often find these applications performative, lacking true intelligence as they loop, misunderstand, or provide irrelevant recommendations. The author emphasizes that the systems design, rather than the AI models themselves, leads to subpar outcomes. By focusing on reasoning and user-centric design, rather than merely features, AI can become more effective in addressing user needs and expectations.
