This article from Nelson and Norman is called “Using Swipe to Trigger Contextual Actions” by Angie Li. The feature swipe-to-delete is across most UI which is just you dragging your finger and getting a response. It started with Apple having the feature on the Mail app and now is widespread, the idea of hidden options and only prioritizing the most important feature.
There are issues with having the swipe feature like lack of signifies as it's not clear that you can do it, you need to already need to know about it to use it. Content is obscured as you swipe it's unclear what you are swiping as you mid-swipe it. Swipe association as most of the time you swipe to remove or delete people become wary of swiping. Inconsistent feature as most actions are clicks or holds swiping can be unexpected. Accidental deletes as making one movement can completely remove things you have to be careful.

Her TED talk discusses how the dangers of AI lie with the current issues and not the future ones as it currently impacts the environment, ethics, and society. As AI use grows so does more environmental harm from the massive carbon footprint from the training to the cost of each request. There are long issues with data protection and harmful biases that it may form. Going forward the issues will become more relevant and the impact will be seen, and she encourages designers to consider the impact AI will have.

Reflection on my research - Ethics are an important thing to consider when designing as people will interact with you. You will be responsible how people interact with a design and the impact it has.
