Over the course of its Made by Google event on Wednesday, it became clear that Google intends to infuse its its new Pixel 8 phones with generative AI. The company is adding support for on-demand summaries, translations and read-aloud features for articles and web pages, plus more tricks, the company announced during its keynote. All of this is handled through the Assistant, either via spoken word or on-screen prompts. On the new Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro, the Assistant will be able to quickly summarize website text, offering a breakdown of the page and bullet points of relevant content. Prompts will pop up at the bottom of the summary with potential follow-ups -- an article about iPhones, for example, will end with action buttons reading, "About iPhones," and, "Who invented the iPhone?"

Unsurprisingly, Google doesn't see things this way. Shenaz Zack, director of product management for Google's Pixel phones, told The Washington Post that she thinks of the feature as a way to "re-create" moments she wasn't fast enough to shoot in real time. Fair enough, but since we haven't been able to thoroughly test this feature yet, consider the jury undecided on how weird this is for now.
