This was a fantastic episode with Darren, Mike. I tried your math trick you mentioned at the very end of the episode where you had Text edit finishing an equation. I tried it with pages on an iPad mini not using AI but using the new pages and the 18 iOS release not the 24 and it’s presented the answer to the equation! Who knew? Also a new feature for the AI improving your life was mentioned on the Old Mac Gang podcast that you introduced me to on your show when you had one of the guests on that podcast on he used to just translate foreign language medical text into English and he said he used to pay 6000 bucks or so for foreign language medical papers to be translated so he could read them and AI would do it instantaneously and saved him a lot of money so that is a great use. Just thought I’d mention it. Thank you again for all the great content you and Darren and Eric writing in and all your guests present on the show
Hi Lisa, thanks for letting me know it works on the iPad too! That’s super cool…
And, you’re absolutely right (and so is Marty!) that when using AI for things like poring over medical papers, legal documents, and other dense material like that, it can be priceless!
