AI writing tools still break writers' workflow, critics say
Original: Most AI writing tools still assume the same workflow: Stop writing Copy the sentence Open a browser... # privacy # ai #
A widely shared critique argues that most AI writing assistants force users out of their flow: stop writing, copy a sentence, open a browser tab, paste, and switch back. The author calls for Mac AI writing tools that work inline without another tab, framing the issue as one of privacy and productivity as much as convenience.
Why now: Frustration is growing with AI assistants that interrupt rather than integrate with writing, especially among privacy-conscious Mac users.
