"Help me write a report on the founding fathers of the U.S." 🤣
These generative AI tools are always being described as a "single model", but surely there is a pool of models being drawn from, each specializing in different areas of knowledge?
Sounds like emails that I get *from* my boss! 🤣
Oh, the number of times I've gently tried to educate people on proper email composition...
I believe that Help Me Write, when used in conjunction with Apple Siri and the Vision Pro, can be a powerful tool for creating and editing documents. It can help you write better, and it can help you write faster. But it can also help you create and edit documents more efficiently. For example, if you are writing a report, you can use Help Me Write to generate a list of the key points you need to cover. You can then use the Vision Pro to create a visual representation of the information you want to include in the report. Finally, you can use Help Me Write to generate a draft of the report, which you can then edit as needed.

The air fryer example displayed in the article has it already hallucinating... how does it know this particular one is in good shape or works great?
I wouldn't mind some help completing or fixing my sentences and improving my grammar, but how many people are either going to become liable (or shirk responsibility) for something the machine said that they didn't supply, didn't mean, and/or was not true?
This is ****.

Even if it made me free coffee, I don't want Google eavesdropping on what I'm writing.
I like how the example just completely threw in that the air fryer was in good condition even though that was not mentioned in the prompt at all. Welcome to the amazing BS machine...
Chrome is adding Help Me Write, and other browsers like Brave/Edge/Arc/etc. are pushing the envelope and adding even more built-in integration with various chatbot / AI services.
Meanwhile, Safari is, uh... well maybe it's "snappier" this year...?
(Glad to see Apple just keeps pushing the boundaries of technology.

)Why should anyone have to read something you can’t be bothered to write?
“This is an experimental Al writing aid and won't always get it right.”
Really, this is a tool for generating what a text would typically look like for the specified situation. Describing a good condition is more likely than not mentioning anything about the condition, so that’s what it does.
...actually, for those two examples any self-respecting millennial or Gen-Zer would convey the information in 3 textspeak TLAs and an emoji...
It reminds me of the papers people write in English class that strictly follow the examples in the book with no sense of personality.
If you're too lazy to write a few short sentences yourself, I'm too lazy to read the long-winded AI-generated paragraph sent to me.
Suggest you try using Brave if you really want to see a browser block ads, pop up's and so on. Neither Safari and Firefox do it so well. Speedometer2.1 HTML5 tests are almost as fast as Safari in usage.

I do find this Help me Write feature interesting, but does the normal user need help that much?

From the time we were first allowed to use calculators in maths class, my ability to perform simple mathematical tasks diminished rapidly.
I have reason to believe that I'm not the only one who has observed this for themselves.
Similarly, while the technology on display here is interesting, I have very little doubt that people's ability to form proper sentences without any help will be negatively impacted by it.
Fun times, considering that "text speak" and social media have already set this in motion.
