Amor Fati: Stress-Testing AI Video System by Breaking It on Purpose

A surreal short generated entirely through Google Flow, using one photo—my LinkedIn profile—as the only identity reference across wildly different aesthetics (cyberpunk, classical meets sci-fi, horror, video game).

The project probes system limits: identity drift, anatomical inconsistency, interpolation breakdowns, export artifacts, and UX friction at scale. Rather than optimizing for output, the work surfaces design insights for professional AI video workflows.

The result is both a personal narrative and a product-level case study in how AI video evolves from clip generator to creative infrastructure.

My ongoing exploration of what UX must become in the age of AI. After a year immersed in AI products, I'm convinced this isn't just an interface evolution — it's the most fundamental shift in human-computer interaction since the GUI.

This deck maps that territory: six core pillars of AI UX, design approaches across Assistant, Domain Expert, and Agentic AI systems, and a reframing of success from efficiency to relationships — with live prototypes that make each idea tangible.

Part provocation, part framework, part personal manifesto — built from 15+ years of experience and a belief that UX designers who evolve now will shape how intelligence becomes humane.

Designing Intelligence:
UX in the Age of AI

Screens, flows, buttons — for decades, that was the job. AI changes the premise entirely. Users don't navigate systems anymore; they state intent. And the system responds — probabilistically, creatively, sometimes unpredictably.

Which means the new design surface isn't UI. It's behavior. How a system interprets intent, balances creativity against reliability, maintains tone and continuity, and builds trust across interactions — not just within one.

This piece makes the case for AI Behavior Design as an emerging discipline, and what it demands from designers who are ready to work at the level of intelligent systems rather than screens.
