I get that it’s hot right now, but man, the user experience of LLMs being this bot you type text to seems like a huge step backwards compared to just integrating these AI features natively into products.

This AI stuff is a snoozefest.

I 👏 DON’T 👏 CARE 👏

"Help me write" and "Duet AI" features are great but how much will these move the needle in Google's fight against OpenAI and Microsoft?

It really seems that Google is just leveraging its existing products. Its native apps are doing much of the heavy-lifting here.

These aren't bad updates...just not that major of a reveal IMO.

Google Bard: Supports wide range of programming capabilities, gotten smarter at prompts and math problems. Now fully running on PaLM 2.

Now demo time to learn what's coming...

The way we search is not as conversational — you have to do a lot of heavy lifting, parsing through multiple links and queries.

But now search with does the work for you...this resembles what Microsoft has with Bing/GPT. Hmm...

New experience builds on Google's rank and search systems.

Pichai talks about the combo of teams into Google DeepMinds, saying that the teams contributed to many breakthroughs in that led to the "inflection point where we are today."

Goes on to talk about Gemini that's still in development.

Mentions AI responsibility — having tools to identify synthetic content where you encounter it, such as watermarking. Pichai says moving forward all content will include watermarking and other info. Also, talks about metadata included in AI images.

Google is really going hard after OpenAI and ChatGPT right now with extension support.

Will it be enough?

Apple does a better job of doing these events. Google starts off with the most boring things.

The real $$ is going to be in the industry that develops products to detect AI generated products.
