I was able to see LaMDA in action about 1.5 years ago. It was just as awe-inducing as ChatGPT. Google is not behind in this race, they're simply slower to roll out new functionality. And maybe rightly so? Some of the things I saw ChatGPT say would have been multi-day international bad headlines for Google, if a Google AI had said them instead of an upstart startup.

- kccqzy 4y agoThere is a phrase called "all publicity is good publicity" in fact. It expresses the very real truth that a media outlet reporting a bad interaction by Google AI would probably make people even more curious to try out the AI. If they get the business model nailed down, they should not be afraid of bad press. (Despite our imagination of the ways Google could profit from LLMs, I don't think Google itself has the business model nailed down.)
