Said on Honest UX Talks

“I'm saving so much time. I'm doing so much more projects, but I'm feeling still like not being enough, even though I'm more productive than ever. It feels to me like I try to out-compete the machine. And that's not a good place to be at.” — Oliver Schöndörfer, Honest UX Talks

“When you're using Claude, it has the serif font and ChatGPT hasn't. And Claude, with this beige background and everything, wants you to feel like, okay, I'm still a human, but a bit warmer. … And ChatGPT is very clean, very rational, very sober.” — Oliver Schöndörfer, Honest UX Talks

“Before, it showed that you cared to use the right punctuation marks, to make cool hover effects. It showed that you cared, to have cool illustrations. And now it does the exact opposite. It shows that you didn't care.” — Oliver Schöndörfer, Honest UX Talks
