The "How Does This Sound?" Prompt: Siri's Best UI Innovation

One subtle feature of the latest Siri update stands out as perhaps the best UI innovation of the past couple of years: the "How does this sound?" prompt.

This simple question allows a user to get feedback on writing, without having the AI rewrite it. It shifts the dynamic from the AI as author to a collaborative partner. It gives the user a moment of pause, a sense of control, and the final say. And it does this without interrupting your thoughts and putting its words in your writing.

Ultimately, Siri now feels less like cheating, and more like a true collaboration.
