Google is rolling out a new feature called "Simplify" in its iOS app, designed to utilize AI to make complex or technical web text readily comprehensible without leaving the current webpage.
Simplify employs a prompt refinement technique, developed by Google Research, leveraging Gemini to make complex text more digestible while preserving essential details. Google states that testing indicates simplified text improves user comprehension and recall of original information.
By offering built-in functionalities like Simplify, Google appears to anticipate that users will remain within its own ecosystem of tools and services, rather than depending on popular third-party tools such as OpenAI's ChatGPT for assistance with complex subjects.
To utilise Simplify, you can select any text on a web page you are viewing in the Google app and tap the 'Simplify' icon that appears. Following this, a simplified, easily readable text will be presented, enhancing your comprehension of the information and facilitating continued reading.
Googleの調査ブログでは、この機能がどのように表示されるかの例が示されています。例えば、次のような文章を見かけるかもしれません: "この病気は複雑で、肺の組織が壊れたり、硬くなったり、免疫細胞が変わったり、免疫を調整する物質が増えたり、血管が大きく変化したりします。"
この複雑な病気は、肺の空気の袋を傷つける肺気腫や、肺が広く傷つく線維症によって、肺の組織がダメージを受けることを示しています。肺の中の免疫細胞が変わり、体は免疫システムを調整する物質をたくさん作り出します。さらに、肺の血管も大きく変化します。
Googleは、この機能の目的は、人々がインターネットで新しいことを学ぶときに難しいトピックをより簡単に理解できるようにすることだと言っています。
In a blog post, Google stated their goal: "We want the model to accurately rephrase complex ideas without making mistakes or leaving out important details. The rewritten text should help readers understand difficult material while keeping the original information correct."
SimplifyのiOS向けサービスは、今週より段階的に展開される見込みです。
