- What surprised you about how AI handled text or media generation?
I was surprised by how often text in AI-generated images isn’t real. What looks like words from a distance often becomes jumbled gibberish up close. It's like the models learn the look of text (strokes, spacing, placement) without actually learning how letters and words work.
It’s sometimes funny, but it breaks immersion. Those fake letters seem to imply these models nail patterns but still miss rule-based details.
- Which AI Assistant feature felt most intuitive or useful to you during the practice activities?
@hat felt most intuitive and useful was how effortlessly the assistant could take a block of text and convert it into different formats like accordion-style sections, bullets, sorted lists, summaries, and more.
I also appreciated that the assistant added text where it made sense, like clarifying headings, inserting brief transitions, or filling tiny gaps to improve readability, without overstepping or changing the original meaning. That combination of flexible formatting plus thoughtful, minimal additions made the tool feel both powerful and respectful of the source content.
