Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Jennifer Blatz on the Good, the Trends, and the Ugly of UX
Q: Can you tell us a little bit about the newsletter, its goals, content, and inspiration?
The newsletter Blatzchats ladders from my YouTube channel of the same name and covers the good, the trends, and the ugly of UX, featuring articles from various sources, conference news, and a light-hearted, snarky take to keep the community engaged.
Scott Abel on Creating Trustworthy Content in the Age of AI
Q: How can technical writers prepare for an AI-enabled future?
They should learn to design and manage content lifecycles, adopt semantic structuring (XML/metadata), train AI with approved content, and see themselves as orchestrators rather than just writers.
Scott Abel on Creating Trustworthy Content in the Age of AI
Q: What about this topic interests you the most and why is it compelling now?
The guest emphasizes that with AI, questions about trust and accuracy are more urgent than ever, and the goal is to guide the AI to deliver reliable information by design, using proper structure and governance.
Dr. Kem-Laurin Lubin on the Rhetorical Nature of AI
Q: What does it mean for AI to be rhetorical?
AI interprets data and, through its outputs, defines what is considered normal, thereby shaping users' self-perception and behavior rather to be neutral information processing.
Dr. Leslie Seawright on the Ethics of Document Design
Q: Could you summarize the six ethical scenarios and how they updated from the original study?
Leslie explains that six scenarios were retained with some updates and two entirely new ones; three were revisions of older scenarios to reflect modern contexts, and the others addressed current concerns like social media and representation, with findings showing a shift toward focusing on writer intention as well as consequences.
