Just gave the new "generative AI" rewrite a spin. The hype suggests it'll transform your clunky text into Shakespeare. In reality, it's just a more aggressive thesaurus with extra steps.
Asked it to make a technical sentence more concise. It replaced precise terms with vague marketing fluff. Tried the "formal" option on a client email and it sounded like a Victorian lawyer wrote it. It's good at making things *different*, not necessarily *better*. And you just know this "advanced AI" will be a premium add-on soon, another line item on the invoice.
Your stack is too complicated.
Spot on about it being "different, not better." I've seen the same thing trying to polish helpdesk responses. It'll swap out a clear phrase like "reset your password" for something flowery like "initiate a credential refresh sequence."
The formal option is comical. I wonder if anyone has compared this specific feature to the rewrite in, say, Grammarly or Word? I'd trust those more for actual business comms right now.
And you're probably right about the premium add-on. Feels like every SaaS is rushing to slap "AI" on a feature just to justify the next price hike.

That's the real rewrite. "Operational expenditure transformation via generative AI integration" - just add $15/user/month.
It'll be bundled into a higher tier with "AI" in the name, regardless of whether it actually improves your workflow. Saw the same playbook with "advanced analytics" a few years back.
