📫 Sign up for Write Insight - my weekly newsletter where I give you one big research productivity or writing tip every single week: go.lennartnacke.com/newsletter
In this episode, I chat with Vugar Ibrahimov to explore how AI is reshaping academic writing. We dive into practical tools like Napkin AI for creating social media content, and discuss the double-edged sword of AI writing assistance - from improving productivity to potentially dulling our writing skills. Our conversation takes interesting turns as we debate AI's role in creativity and critical thinking, explore ethical considerations, and share insights on using AI tools effectively while preserving human creativity in our work. We also tackle the growing concern of over-reliance on AI and discuss strategies for maintaining a healthy balance between human and machine input in academic writing.

    Take home message: 1. situate your work and be clear of your study motivation and context 2. writing with consistency and accessible (plain) language 3. reading the best papers from CHI is a good practice 4. give reviewers good reasons for liking your work 5. in your abstract, signify the most important contribution (not findings), and why it matters to the community 6. research-community fit (a concept inspired by product-market fit) - is it for CHI? Contextualise it with a people-focus perspective 7. creating a motivating writing environment and prepare for long writing sessions when the deadline draws close.

    I just started using Scholar. The content produced from the prompt is very nice, but the citations it gives are sketchy. There are lots of links to main sites and page 404s. There is a high number of incorrect returned citations. This is puzzling for a research tool with an advertized 200M doc DB.

    • @acagamic
      @acagamic 8 วันที่ผ่านมา

      There are lots of ways you can use rhetorical devices in your paragraphs. For example, an isocolon or tricolon in your explanation part: "This productivity gain manifested through increased code output, faster project completion rates, and higher quality deliverables and suggests that the traditional office-centric work model may not be optimal for all knowledge workers."

    • @acagamic
      @acagamic 8 วันที่ผ่านมา

      There are many frameworks that work in this context. Probably one of the most popular ones is the Octalysis framework. However, we also have a gameful design heuristics framework. In general, having some sort of quest or milestone system can go a long way of embedding an engaging narrative for customer engagement.

    I have to say, as a Digital Designer who ahs been a working corporate deisnger for over 30 years, there is much wrong with this interview. I do appreciate the effort and information. However talking about how to pursue a career in design requires a significant amount of diverse experience to fully address. Without getting into specific, I would encouge viewers to seek out other videos on the topic to supplemtn the information in this one. I will give you one example: question was how do you ensure you arent being asked to real work during a design challenge. Answer was: If the topic of the challenge is very close to the company's product, it should be avoided. Wrong. The answer is, you don't know. You have to decide if you want to do the challenge amid the risks vs bowing out. One tiip is to not be so arrogant to think that your work during an interview will be used for production - it likely won't. Most design challenges are legit, regardless of what is being aksed. Finally, it would be heplful if the host could get their audio issues sorted out to ensure clear consistent audio from all sounces used in the video.

    • @Janustiu
      @Janustiu ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks a lot for your comment. You're right, there's a lot to learn about to start a career in design, and I appreciate you pointing that out. My talk was only 45 minutes, so I couldn't cover everything. The goal of this presentation is to provide an overview of the UX job interview process. I encourage viewers to explore additional resources online, as they can provide varied perspectives and fill in any potential gaps in my presentation. Regarding design challenges in interviews, I think that each should be assessed individually. Based on my experience working with my students, most reputable companies tend to avoid posing challenges that closely mirror their actual products. This approach isn't just about ethics; it's also impractical. Candidates who lack in-depth knowledge of the company's user base, problem areas, features, and technical constraints, will find themselves at a disadvantage when dealing with real product scenarios. This often results in less successful outcomes in the hiring process. Sadly, some companies do take advantage of designers looking for jobs :( One of my design students was asked to create a high-fidelity website for a startup, and the company even provided her with a design system. Eventually, the startup updated their website to look exactly like her design. There was also a recent Reddit post about a startup that kept asking for free design work but never hired a designer. That's why I think if a company asks you to design something exactly like their products, it's usually not a good sign.

    @JonBck 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Really good advice! I basically use them all. The one thing I struggle with the most is to actually find the time. To block the calendar and not have the time eaten by all the other things you need to do. Would love to hear your thoughts on it!

    • @acagamic
      @acagamic 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes, that's exactly how I do it. I block my calendar each week for a couple of dedicated hours for creative work (video recording, content creation, etc.) and for specific writing work. My writing usually needs longer focus than other creative work (so I really want to make sure I get at least 2-3 uninterrupted hours for the actual writing work) and I just make sure to plan for that accordingly (no notifications help).

  • @brittanylewis3519
    @brittanylewis3519 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I think there is a natural tension between the desire for CHI to be a diverse community and the emphasis on excellent writing during the review process over other aspects of the work (like good research ideas). Strict focus on writing can be a barrier for people without English as a first language or those who come from non-academic backgrounds. I hope that the shift to a revise and resubmit format will focus the review conversation more on the merit and novelty of the research contribution with the understanding that writing can be improved during revision.

    • @acagamic
      @acagamic 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      You are correct and the review process has never been focused strictly on writing alone. However, learning how to write and structure your paper will increase its chances in a fiercely growing competition every year. So, our goal in the CHI Paper Writing Course is to help young authors stand out with their amazing research.

    TAKEAWAY 1) Situate a paper so that it is specific to your community yet generic for all to understand the use case 2) Why does the paper matter? 3) Substantiate your work with proper statistical tests if any. 4) Consistency of terminology 5) The abstract should have the spice just enough to titillate the reviewer to go through the paper. 6) Prioritize on content that might lead to rejection (poorly presented results; missing related work; ) 7) Research should be people focussed for CHI. 8) When you build a system/application/software - what can people take away from that so that others in different fields of work can use that for their work. 9) Don't use the wrong statistical tests 10) Use version control.
