When recently testing the OnePlus Pad Go 2, it struck me that the tablet has aimed its crosshairs at a familiar target: the iPad. Apple’s entry-level slate doesn’t just dominate the market, but it’s arguably the ubiquitous tablet; how many people say “iPad” to refer to any tab? Having reviewed plenty of Android tablets in my day, I’ve come across loads of slates aiming to topple Apple’s heavyweight. Many have fallen flat at worst, or at best simply offered an iPad-alike, but with Google’s operating system instead of Apple’s. But there are some options out there, that really are tempting…

It’s meant to raise accuracy on straightforward work like extraction, short answers, and basic rewriting, not long, multi-step reasoning. The other fix is human. Separate research from Northeastern University suggests people get stronger outputs when they prompt with…
