AI Writing Tools Show Promise But Still Require Oversight
-
AI writing tools like Microsoft Copilot and Google Gemini can help generate emails, documents, slides, and meeting notes, but often make inaccurate assumptions requiring manual editing.
-
The AI works best when given very specific prompts and background documents to work from, but still sometimes "hallucinates" false details.
-
Summarization and editing suggestions from the AI are useful, but you still need to verify everything is accurate before using.
-
The AI tools can save time on repetitive tasks, but you need to weigh whether AI generation will actually create more work versus just doing the task manually.
-
Overall the tools show promise for aiding productivity by helping initiate and draft content, but human oversight is still essential to verify quality and accuracy.
