The new feature is currently available to macOS and Windows users with the latest version of Chrome. However, there are some ethical concerns, such as the AI potentially bending the truth to assist users. As AI-powered tools like this become more popular, the amount of content written by actual humans is expected to decrease. To use the feature, users need to be in the US, at least 18 years old, have English selected in Chrome, and be signed into a Google account with the data-collecting option enabled.
Key takeaways:
- Google is rolling out an AI-powered writing assistant, 'Help Me Write', for Chrome users, based on its Gemini AI model.
- The feature helps users compose text by generating customizable text from short input descriptions, adding context from the contents of the web page.
- Despite potential ethical issues, such as the AI possibly bending the truth to aid the user, Google sees this as a major step forward, integrating the feature directly into Chrome, the world's most popular browser.
