UX Planet is a one-stop resource for everything related to user experience. When the wave of generative AI tools began flooding the market, I must confess my reaction was mixed: a sense of fascination for the possibilities and concern for the ethical challenges looming on the horizon. As a digital product designer for over a decade, I had already witnessed several technological revolutions — but none with the transformative potential of generative AI.

I argue that with the increased use of generative AI, there will be a decrease in the quality of the generated content because this generated content will be more and more based on artificial and general data.

Earlier this year, scientists discovered a peculiar term appearing in published papers: "vegetative electron microscopy". This phrase, which sounds technical but is actually nonsense, has become a "digital fossil" - an error preserved and reinforced in artificial intelligence (AI) systems that is nearly impossible to remove from our knowledge repositories.

Regular evaluation ensures that Large Language Models (LLMs) remain reliable, accurate, and aligned with intended objectives. It helps detect performance drift, hallucinations, bias, and safety risks before they impact end users. These metrics assess word or n-gram overlap between candidate and reference texts.
