A discussion has started about the sharing buttons in AI conversations. Jagster finds the current setup confusing, particularly with the “share” button actually being for copying and selecting text. awesomerobot points out that the default share icon is the link icon, but agrees that the current setup is unusual. awesomerobot suggests replacing the “share” button with a copy icon for clarity, and provides a link to a proposed solution on GitHub.
This is a case of “do what you do, but you can’t win”.
I kind of understand why the icon of copying AI conversation was changed, but similar sharing buttons are confusing. Especially when the first button isn’t for sharing, but for selecting and copying.
Should this need re-considering?
The default share is the link icon so I don’t think this duplication is default, right?
Though it’s weird anyway… we call that button “share ai conversation” but it’s really “copy this post” maybe this copy icon would be a better fit:
I think this will be clearer now: UX: update icon and text for copying message by awesomerobot · Pull Request #815 · discourse/discourse-ai · GitHub
