From CNET: Google has added a new artificial intelligence-powered grammar checker in its search engine. While Gmail and Docs have had grammar and spelling checks for a while, this is a new feature for Search.
In a support page, Google says the grammar check feature uses "AI systems" to analyze language and is able to "check if a phrase or sentence is written in a grammatically correct way or how to correct it, if not."
This new Search feature, spotted earlier Sunday by 9to5Google, is one of several AI-powered tools Google has rolled out this year. In May, Google launched an experimental AI-powered search, called Search Generative Experience, that's able to summarize information from multiple sources in response to search queries. Google has also added generative AI tools to Gmail and Docs and launched its own AI chatbot, Bard.
Google, along with Microsoft, Adobe and nearly every major tech company, has been rapidly releasing new generative AI tools and products. While such tools have vast potential to help people on tasks big and small, concerns have been raised about job loss and misinformation. Advanced AI systems have also sparked worries about their impact on society.
