The author expresses dissatisfaction with the Now Brief's inability to customize content effectively, particularly in the news section, which resulted in receiving unwanted headlines. Attempts to curate content through the Samsung News app proved ineffective, leading to the decision to disable the feature. The author hopes to replace the void left by disabling the news feature with Samsung Health metrics, but overall, finds the Now Brief lacking in comparison to other AI features like Google's Circle-to-Search, due to its limited customization options and relevance.
