There is so much AI tools cannot do. I made this to remind me of the things AI still can’t replace:

Critical thought
Genuine empathy
True innovation
Entrepreneurial vision
Emotional intelligence
Ethical judgement
Human intuition

The future of testing will always need us thought workers.
Infographic titled "AI cannot replace these." The infographic lists eight human traits: Critical Thought, Genuine Empathy, True Innovation, Entrepreneurial Vision, Emotional Intelligence, Calculated Risk-Taking, Ethical Judgement, and Human Intuition. The design features a purple theme with high-contrast, bold white text and associated visuals for each point. Attributed to Ady Stokes.

Achievement unlocked. Scott Kenyon and I delivered our workshop on Accessibility Quadrants and Charters yesterday to an enthusiastic group.
Some great conversations throughout and the Owl Project musical to finish the day was perfect. Thank you @agiletdzone.bsky.social

A true testers mindset
#testing
behold a square. a shape with four sides of equal length, with four right angles. drawing is a circle with right angle gaps to two straight lines joined by a curve.

Also for reasons I've added a picture of me laughing during my one and only professional photo shoot and the link is in the comments. Because that's what people do now. 🤷

Headshot of me laughing. White male. Slightly overweight wearing glasses with a short beard and hair. I'm wearing a teal tshirt and blue over shirt.
