When it comes to #infographics, are we communicating #data or information? At what point can we say a visualization has done its job? Curious how others approach this.

I'm so frustrated with Apple's dark patterns to trick people into upgrading iOS. 🤬 Tricked my 90+ year-old MIL into upgrading to iOS 26 on both her iPhone and iPad at the worst possible time! There's no obvious way to postpone the update to another day unless you figure out the trick.

Create an infographic with the Microsoft 365 Copilot app - Microsoft Support Design impactful infographics with Microsoft 365 Copilot. Use templates, brand kits, and design tips to turn complex data into stunning visual content.

@microsoft.com 365's Copilot is now advertising "infographics". Although I wouldn't call these #infographics, it does create text summaries fit for a presentation.

What are your thoughts? Can we really call these "infographics"?
