“Unlocking Creativity: Do Apple’s Writing Tools Hold the Secret to Your Next Masterpiece?”
Apple has just dropped a bombshell with the launch of iOS 18.1 and macOS Sierra 15.1, but wait—Boring AI? Yes, you read that right! Their new initiative, Apple Intelligence, is billed as the “boring version of AI” that’s set to support our everyday lives rather than completely upend them. Ever wonder if a more mundane approach to artificial intelligence might actually be what we need? In a world buzzing with flashy, generative AI tools, Apple’s slow and steady strategy focuses on enhancing our existing workflows—especially for those of us who write. Imagine having a super helpful assistant that doesn’t just throw out random paragraphs but actually helps polish your work with tools like rewriting and tone correction. Is this development a revolution for writers or just more corporate jargon? Let’s dig into what this means, especially as we approach another election cycle! LEARN MORE.
This Just In: Apple Intelligence offers the boring version of AI I’ve hoped for, but is it helpful for writers? Plus, a thought about the election.
Boo! I hope you find this rare Thursday edition a treat. It would have come out on Tuesday, but my home internet decided not to work on Monday evening. I thought the modem had gone bad, but there was a neighborhood outage. Who knew? Anyway, enjoy today’s edition, and Happy Halloween!
Apple released iOS 18.1 and macOS Sierra 15.1 with Apple Intelligence earlier this week. This was the first of Apple’s many planned updates over the next year to make Siri smarter and add AI to the operating systems.
Apple’s approach has been slow and methodical. It promises a boring AI that supports our existing behaviors. While the initial Apple Intelligence features released this week are pretty limited, Writing Tools was among them.
Writing Tools is a system-level feature that offers rewriting, tone correction, and enhanced spelling/grammar revisions. This is one of the features of Apple Intelligence that I was most excited about. I like Apple’s take: Writing Tools isn’t generative; it requires existing written content to revise or enhance.
