In the near future, transforming text over an entire document will become as commonplace as filtering images.

Up until now, text editors have been focused on input. The next evolution of text editors will make it easy to alter, summarize and lengthen text. You’ll be able to do this for entire documents, not just individual sentences or paragraphs. The filters will be instantaneous and as good as if you wrote the text yourself. You will also be able to do this with local files, on your device, without relying on remote servers.

In a “A camera for ideas”, I coined the term synthography to describe synthetic images created with generative models.
