I used the OpenAI collab tool yesterday for a couple of hours.
I was trying to write a technical document.
Very clunky user experience. The AI felt like an annoying collaborator who took control when I was trying to do my job and didn’t obey when I asked it to do stuff and the basic markdown editing options were missing.
Switched to another non AI editor and got the job done quick.
Having said that, I like the idea and would use, but I do not want to ask AI to do find and replace. If they can flesh this out and improve it and make it "writer first, AI second" instead of "AI first" then it might be worth using.
