User Testing Tales: Drunk Shopping Fail.

January 31, 2019 ~ admin
Don't let me shop drunk tonight
I really want crystal embellished socks.
You should buy them right now!
You can't buy these socks
Stupid sober Lila blocking drunk Lila from being able to shop drunk
I'm not going to pass a breathalyzer, I am drunk as shit
I have an idea
Hey doggo, come do this sobriety test for me
Congrats, you have proven your sobriety. Shop away!
Welcome back to the focus group, any complaints?
I used my dog to trick the device and ended up spending a shit tonne on socks

Could an AI trained to collect data based on people’s breath be tricked by a dog? How else could AI be tricked by people in this focus group?

Untested Futures will be taking a break for a few weeks, stay tuned!

AI and the Future of Focus Groups

January 24, 2019 ~ admin

The dominant speculation is that AI and machines will replace human workers in many industries. Perhaps a new job for people will emerge… finding ways to confuse, challenge or trick Artificial Intelligence. What will come from this focus group of the future?

What Would You Do to Avoid Losing Your Phone?

January 10, 2019 ~ admin
Losing your phone is a life ruiner
my phone is my life. I use it for everything
to avoid the pain of losing my phone I keep it strapped to my body
doing activities in my phone harness
I never take it off
Now i'm not scared to drop my phone on my face

People are expected to rely on their phones more and more. So would losing or breaking it become even more of a burden? What measures will people take to avoid this?
