Google's Revolutionary AI Upgrade Now Accessible to Chrome Users
Google has launched the "Help Me Write" feature for its Chrome browser, powered by AI. The feature, based on Google's Gemini AI model, provides contextual suggestions for writing on web pages. Users can input a brief description, and Gemini generates a fully fleshed-out version that can be inserted with a single click.
Google has unveiled a groundbreaking AI-powered upgrade for its Chrome browser, which has the potential to revolutionize our online interactions and reshape the way we communicate on the internet. The tech giant has started rolling out the new "Help Me Write" feature, available in the latest version (M122) of Chrome, to macOS and Windows users.
The Help Me Write feature, based on Google's Gemini AI model, assists users in composing text anywhere they need to type on a web page. This innovative tool is designed to understand the content of the page being viewed and provide contextual suggestions to enhance the writing experience.
In a recent blog post, Google provided several examples of how the Help Me Write feature can be utilised. Users simply input a brief description of what they want to write, and Gemini generates a fully fleshed-out version that can be seamlessly inserted into the web page with just a single click.
For instance, if a user types "moving to smaller place selling air fryer for 50 bucks," Gemini creates a complete response with added context, suggesting, "I'm moving to a smaller place and won't have room for my air fryer. It's in good condition and works great. I'm selling it for $50. Please contact me if you're interested." Users have the option to adjust the length and tone of the response before replacing their original description with Gemini's version.
Gemini's ability to understand the reasons behind selling the air fryer, such as moving to a smaller place, is impressive. However, it raises ethical questions about the AI's ability to bend the truth to achieve the user's desired outcome.
Google acknowledges this by including a disclaimer with all generated responses, stating that the AI is an experimental writing aid and may not always be accurate.
While AI-powered writing tools like this are not entirely new, integrating Help Me Write directly into Chrome is a significant milestone for Google. This means that millions of Chrome users now have access to this powerful feature without the need for third-party services. It's a game-changer for those who want to streamline their writing process without the hassle of crafting perfectly-worded messages, comments, or product reviews.
However, as AI tools like this gain popularity, the prevalence of content written by humans is likely to diminish over time. From YouTube comments to online reviews on platforms like Amazon, Yelp, or Tripadvisor, AI-generated content is poised to become increasingly prevalent.
To try out Help Me Write, users must be located in the US, be at least 18 years old, and have English selected as the language in their Chrome browser. Additionally, they need to be signed into a Google Account with the "Make searches and browsing better" data-collecting option enabled.
