Creating new experiences for people in a world of intelligent machines
summary
Hacked Amazon Alexa into a Big Mouth Billy Bass using an Arduino and motor controller, the prototype goes viral and proves rapid physical prototyping works; a RISD course on “AI design” uses Google Vision and OpenAI tools to teach fake it to test it—hamster-ball Alexa, a talking microwave, and a $100 purring comfort device exist and are tested with users. Argues emotional and social intelligence matter most, proposes an emotional markup language, and reports trust and long‑term living tests as the biggest open questions.
