There's this "UX pioneer" who is so obsessed with IQ it's quite alarming and making me upset. Don't know if to call it out or move along. From his latest comment about ChatGPT:
"The backend is so useful that it overcomes the bad UI for high-IQ users, but I am convinced we'll see better design soon, which will be useful for broader segments of the population."
FFS.
In a sense I have called it out before as it's a big part of a job ad that I criticised in a blog post (that this person is likely to at least have coauthored):

Oh, and of course I accidentally read his latest post talking about whether metaverse or AI is better...
"How could Mark Zuckerberg make such a blunder? All reports indicate he has a high IQ and a solid technical background. Likely below Bill Gates on both accounts, but having a lower IQ than Bill is no shame (I’m pretty sure I belong to the IQ<billg club myself)."
