I can't tell whether it's a curse or a blessing that the company most invested and succeeding seemingly in AI is also the one who seems least capable of commercially leveraging it and have shown to fail at doing so with most their products.
- albertzeyer 4y agoBut they actually have machine learning in almost all their products. E.g. Google Search, YouTube, GMail, Maps, AdSense, all have machine learning at their core.
- htrp 4y agoThe ML in google search is apparently atrocious.... see all of the posts about how Search doesn't work anymore
- londons_explore 4y agoAll the posts moan about poor results. But few say 'my query was this, and the ideal result would have been this URL: xxx'
- FeepingCreature 4y agoIME the issue is not "the ideal result would have been xxx", the issue is "it is trivially obvious that the first ten results are ludicrously far from ideal." Browser extensions like Unpinterested tell a story.
- ad404b8a372f2b9 4y agoThat's akin to saying you can't criticize art if you can't make it yourself. The close-to-ideal result would have been whatever google gave me 5 years ago before they started their latest ML push with query embeddings.
- summerlight 4y agoOr their applications of AI to their products are so transparent to the level where you cannot recognize? I'm pretty sure that their revenue will drop by more than half without their machine learning infrastructure.
