We’re giving away two more copies of Drawing Ideas, and this time, the authors want to see what you can sketch.

Earlier this year, we gave away a couple of copies of Drawing Ideas in a contest that challenged our readers to come up with a design problem that authors Mark Baskinger and William Bardel could explore with a sketch. We’ve got two more copies to give away, and this time Mark and William would like to see what you can draw. Their challenge:

“Show us where wearable technology is headed and what kind of ecosystem it will exist in.”

Submissions must be drawn by hand and tell a good story. Winners will be selected by the authors and will receive a print edition of Drawing Ideas along with a stencil from UI Stencils. Winning sketches will also be published in UX Magazine.

To enter, send jpg .png or .tiff files to [email protected] using the subject line “Drawing Ideas Giveaway.” The contest deadline is Friday, October 10th.

And to refresh your memory on how sweet the book is, here’s our video flip-through:

  • It looks at the strange way AI praises fancy-sounding language but ignores real logic, which can be harmful, especially in sensitive areas like mental health.
  • The piece argues that AI needs to be more genuinely helpful and aligned with users to truly empower them.

Have SpudGun, Will Travel: How AI’s Agreeableness Risks Undermining UX Thinking

  • AI Ethics, AI in UX, Artificial Intelligence, ChatGPT, Design Thinking, Design Tools and Software, Human-Centered Design, LLM, Research Methods and Techniques, UX Research

Mashed potatoes as a lifestyle brand? When AI starts generating user personas for absurd products — and we start taking them seriously — it’s time to ask if we’ve all lost the plot. This sharp, irreverent critique exposes the real risks of using LLMs as synthetic users in UX research.

IDEAS IN BRIEF
Have SpudGun, Will Travel: How AI’s Agreeableness Risks Undermining UX Thinking
  • The article explores the growing use of AI-generated personas in UX research and why it’s often a shortcut with serious flaws.
  • It introduces critiques that LLMs are trained to mimic structure, not judgment. When researchers use AI as a stand-in for real users, they risk mistaking coherence for credibility and fantasy for data.
  • The piece argues that AI tools in UX should be assistants, not oracles. Trusting “synthetic users” or AI-conjured feedback risks replacing real insights with confident nonsense.
