Lol, that must be a real morale-builder.

Sounds like a new Hearthstone mage card.

Jokes aside, this is a good development, competition benefits the consumer after all.

This isn't just internal. Research at Google has an app in the play store called AI Test Kitchen. I've used it, and it's... not great. The format is for specific things, like describing a place you say or giving you a list of tasks to reach a stated goal. The descriptor type is decent, but the task list is awful. It frequently includes the goal as a subtask, much like "draw the rest of the fucking owl." It's interesting but based on what I've seen it's not there, nor close. Could be they don't want to publicly tip their hand yet, since this is a public (wait-listed) version. Time will tell.

Sounds like Google got caught off guard by ChatGPT and doesn't have a formidable response to it yet.

It’s fun to see Google shit their pants after ruining their own search engine with SEO spams and ads, while doing everything they can to make people dislike youtube past 10 years.

Even before ChatGPT, people were looking up best restaurants on Instagram and TikTok.

Google got innovated on. Desperately going to throw a bunch of money. Build several products and shut them down in five years.

Serves them right, Alphabet have 100 billion dollars cash on hand and are about to get decimated by a competing technology after they failed to reinvest this whole time.

There is also the issue of accuracy. When they are trying to give you a webpage, the page may or may not be relevant or accurate, but it is someone else’s content. There isn’t any responsibility on their part to be correct. But if they are generating the answers, suddenly they are responsible for their validity. They might avoid legal culpability (maybe), but enough bad stories of people relying on the bot, not double checking the info, and getting screwed could tarnish google’s reputation. If chatGPT weren’t being used as a toy, being dismissed as “just a language model” whenever it generates harmful bullshit they is blatantly false, it could do a ton of harm. If google had a chat bot used in any official capacity, people would either take it much more seriously or they would have to essentially ignore it.

People rely on google,their AI assistant has to be much more accurate than chatGPT for it not to jeopardize that.

Well of course they are. Google knows this game pretty well at this point. They're playing for second intentionally. Let ChatGPT take the lumps for being the first to try and scale and whether they make it or not is irrelevant because Google can take a fair chunk of the market with relative ease. No reason for them to rush in.

I'd be extremely surprised if Google got honestly caught unawares. Perhaps they were surprised by how quickly ChatGPT grew, but I have to imagine they're pretty well positioned to handle this.

But, this is a very promising sign. ChatGPT is one tool and it shows that, if done right, a small company can still put some pressure on the larger companies. Hopefully we see a few more like ChatGPT in the next 4-5 years to add some diversity to the tech markets.

I've been using one called Writesonic which is decent.

It costs money tho, whereas Chat GPT is free

Needing to append a site name where humans post to get accurate search results is like the opposite thing anyone should need to do for a company that is supposed to be AI focused.

kind of amusing to think about Google's zillion dollar per year business genius c-suite folks running around shouting "somebody do something!!!"

It's interesting how Google and other tech giants have been sitting on these LLM internally, some of which might even be more advanced than the OpenAI products. The greatest contribution of Chatgpt might be a first mover advantage that persuades other companies off of the sidelines.

It is when Google hasn't found how they want to monetize some of it and more importantly doesn't want their AI to risk brand damage. ChatGPT routinely gets things wrong or semi wrong which is expected with any AI that you have to train with data online and all it takes is their bot to say the right thing that is off base to damage Google's brand image. Google's spent $120 billion on AI in the last 6 years, just look up deepmind and alphaGo and you'll see just how much they've advanced it
