Andrew Miles Davis covers three tools on week 83 of Cool Tools Tuesday. He starts with Note It Hub, which takes a long chat, finds the to dos scattered through it, and turns them into one list, solving the problem of good ideas getting lost across separate conversations. He then covers Claude's new add-on for Google Workspace, which brings AI into Sheets in the way Copilot does for Excel, with the same catch that even simple tasks can take up to a minute, so it earns its place on complicated jobs rather than quick ones. He closes with Google's SynthID, a tool for identifying AI generated content, and uses it to raise the bigger question of where the line sits between AI generated and AI edited, arguing the line matters more than the label because the real concern is being manipulated. Subscribe to In AI Nutshell for three new tools every Tuesday with honest verdicts from someone testing them in real work.

Andrew Miles Davis answers eleven randomly generated questions in his favourite monthly format. On the AI side, he says the job he would be most nervous about AI doing is any role where a wrong answer lands on him, because AI will never care if it gets it wrong, so it can advise him but never decide. He also says Apple is the brand he most wants to see fix its AI, since anyone in the Apple ecosystem would benefit, and he adds that he is fine with the hardware but not the prices. On the personal side, he tells the story of being given the honeymoon suite at a hotel in Portugal, shares what a ten day silent Vipassana retreat with no phone was really like, and recalls a stranger on a beach telling him he was a fantastic dad. Other answers cover the best domain name he knows of, the fictional worlds he would visit for a week, why he refuses to pay full price for a car, and the ridiculous event he would add to the Olympics.

Andrew Miles Davis covers a week of AI news that mixes useful new features with some uncomfortable warnings. He leads with ChatGPT's new Intelligent UI, which decides how best to answer and can show interactive results while it is still researching in the background. He also covers Google's Playground, which lets you describe a game in plain English and share or publish it, though for now it is limited to adults in the US. Andrew then covers the story of a California woman who spent five and a half hours on the phone with a scammer using a cloned version of her daughter's voice, sending $5,400 in four transfers before discovering her daughter was at work. He explains why he has agreed a safety question with his own family that only they would know. Other stories include an update to Meta's Muse that builds a page on every person in your life, including people who never signed up, Audioball's plan for interactive audiobook stories where you can talk to the characters, and an author whose book on AI and truth was found to contain 26 quotes that did not stand up after AI tidied his original wording.
