, UX Planet - Medium
AI is giving us an opportunity to rethink decision-making in education, work and beyond.TL;DR: Using AI is like using Google Maps: the technology excels at prediction (analysing data and forecasting routes), but humans must retain the judgement (deciding where to go and if the journey is worth it).

It doesn’t ship with a standalone interface or a familiar navigation model. It lives inside a conversational surface, where language, intent, and orchestration shape how a product is experienced just as much as UI does. Still, companies are moving quickly to integrate, sensing that showing up inside these systems will soon be table stakes for discovery.

UX and NPS Benchmarks of Mass Merchant Websites (2026)
, MeasuringU
People spend a lot of money (and time) on online purchases, most of that on what we call mass merchant retail websites.
The US Census Bureau estimates Q3 2025 retail e-commerce sales at $310B (15.8% of total retail sales that quarter). Spending continues to grow but is tempered by inflation, making shoppers more economically pessimistic and price-sensitive, and less tolerant of extra fees.
