UX and AI, but no single speaker addressed the training data sources, the energy requirements,
But never once did the question arise of whether it’s ethical to even use these tools.
One topic was expressed: the AI slop
There’s a quote by Finnish architect Eliel Saarinen that UX designers like repeating:

In short:
- Anchors (links) are for navigating within the current document (page) or to another one.
- The dedicated "submit" and "reset" buttons are for specific form actions.
- Regular buttons are for (JavaScript) actions.
- Links can be styled to look like buttons and vice versa.
Link for navigation.
Buttons for actions.
"Look and feel" can be adjusted in CSS anyway...
It reflects ARIA presses state with CSS. Isn't it already built-in ?
I am using it for aria-current.
How to create accessible spoilers without JS? Well it's a tradeoff.
It reminds me of these projects about customizing the homepage and new windows of the browser.
