Google Assistant lead…
If you’re used to Google Assistant in 2023, the bar for being amazed would be pretty low.
I’m astonished at how they launched Google Assistant with more features and functionality (on all devices), and somehow Assistant got worse over time? And now, they’re marketing the same features as before, BUT WITH GENERATIVE AI 🎊🎊🎊🎊
I have Google Home devices sitting around unplugged because they became so useless. You know it’s bad when Amazon has the better product (Alexa dependably controls smart home devices and have much better microphone arrays, audio quality, and aux audio out).
Alexas are all that, but also dumb as a rock. With ChatGPT im conversation mode I can talk aviut anything, Alexa falls on its dumb face almost immediately. Hope they inject some gen AI into their home assistants Stat!
What else should she say?! What a donkey article.
“Google Assistant is headed for the killedbygoogle”
🤣🤣🤣 we need more people like you.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The company is on the verge of releasing Gemini, its highly-anticipated new large language model, which will be closely compared to OpenAI’s GPT-4.
Hsiao isn’t part of the team building Gemini – a newly-formed coalition of DeepMind and Google’s Brain unit – but she is responsible for some of the major products that will give users access to these new AI systems.
Hsiao’s team recently introduced a feature that highlights information Bard suspects may not be accurate.
Its arrival also suggests that the company is rethinking what the Assistant – which has stagnated in recent years – actually is in the era of powerful LLMs.
While chatbots and large language models have wowed users, there are still questions about whether these AI systems are actually going to be useful in the long term.
Google’s advantage here is its array of already popular apps, such as Gmail, Docs, and Maps, that it can inject the underlying AI abilities into.
