Ethics of Artificial Intelligence in Qualitative Research

In December 2025, Tanisha Jowsey (social scientist in medical education), Virginia Braun (psychologist), Victoria Clarke (psychologist), Deborah Lupton (sociologist), and Michelle Fine (psychologist) published a letter signed by 419 qualitative researchers from 32 countries. These experts reject the use of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) for reflexive thematic research. This includes interviews, focus groups, and other phenomenological methods. The researchers give three primary reasons.

GenAI lacks understanding of human meaning, which is the central focus of qualitative methods.

Interpretations of social data require humanity.

GenAI has been developed through exploitative measures.

Elsewhere, I have published my own research on the methodological and ethical issues with generative AI. I have shown that this technology is flawed and has a high rate of error.

rant about psychiatry appt.

so after continuing to have some mood related symptoms, I went back to my psychiatrist.

long story short I’m trying a new medicine that will hopefully help and she thinks I’m autistic. I’ve always known I was neurodivergent, I’ve always been the weird kid with specific things. But idk it’s just hitting me. I was never diagnosed with anything as a kid cause to my parents I was just quirky. When I had issues I was taken to a therapist but it was just anxiety and depression. Not a single therapist I tried helped, so eventually I hit a breaking point and tried a psychiatrist. Immediately she goes “you have the most obvious OCD, it’s screaming at me”

After the second session she recommended an ADHD assessment but wanted to stabilize my meds and my symptoms. Now I’m told auDHD is probably what I have and she goes down a list of things. (Along with OCD)

My degree is psychology, I’ve worked with many autistic children and adults, my partner is autistic, I have many friends who are autistic. And I’ve seen similarities sure but just cause I share a symptom doesn’t mean I share the diagnosis. But I guess I might?

I just feel weird about my childhood and my mental state now. Have I truly been masking my whole life? Is this why I always felt out of place? I just thought it was cause I had untreated OCD. Now I haven’t been properly assessed so I don’t want to jump to conclusions but I’m being assessed in three weeks. I don’t know what to expect or how I feel about whatever result I get.

“Pink is your favorite color huh?”

“I’m guessing your favorite color is pink!”

“Woah..pink is your favorite color I guess”

Yes.

People love to point out that I wear a lot of pink in my daily looks. People who have only barely just seen and experienced my existence, people who work with me and see me daily love to point this out. I don’t see that they are so well intentioned about it so I just say yes and move along. Sometimes it’s a micro aggression. Sometimes I can tell they’re just bored and trying to make small talk.

The sky is blue nearly everyday on clear days..yet do we pause and speak to the sky and say hey! You must really love blue! Yes I know not the most direct example but the point is, you see how you let the sky be blue, you accept it, it’s color is soothing, let me be too!

I mean, I don’t feel the need to comment on someone who only wears loose clothing or only wears black. Do you boo! I’d rather engage in a conversation about concepts, world events, social issues, community events, dreams (literally whatever did you dream of last night??) and feelings..

Honestly, I’m bored with their pink callouts as much as they might be annoyed or weirded out by my love of pink. What happened to appreciating people for their signature look or hobbies?

And this is why I love the trending collective appreciation for whimsy. We need softness and lightheartedness more than ever these days. Pink is that color for this intention. It’s a lifestyle as much as it is a design language.

Also some people use fashion very intentionally and as an equal parts manifestation tool.

Maybe some people just slap on things they like with a basic intention like “fancy” or “work” outfit. Maybe some people overthink their outfit and consider what others might think to the point of self limitation and in a way self sabotage.

Personally I’ve allowed myself the liberation of loving what I love. I’ve allowed myself the creative development of learning to see my body as is and celebrating it through specific silhouettes. I’ve allowed myself to dream and follow those dreams by dressing for the roles I was born to embody.

And yet all of it is still very intuitive!

I probably look like I think so hard about my daily outfits but girl… I don’t. I feel them. I only gather pieces that I love and will enjoy styling, sometimes they’re on trend sometimes they’re so not. And what I find no longer speaks to my essences, I let go with love and resell to someone who will find more joy in resonating with them and styling them.

Loving the process of intuitive and emotionally charged dressing..

I hope you enjoy my digital lookbook/concept book as much as I do. Stay true darlings!!
