So in just 72 hours we went from Microsoft will gain a foothold against Google to the realization that this thing needs overwatch and isn’t ready for mass market adoption. It becomes quite probable that in the end this whole story will backfire for Microsoft.
- falcor84 4y agoI might accept this narrative is Google had just come out and said something like "AI needs more safety research before it's ready to be widely deployed". But that's not what they did.
- elorant 4y agoGoogle has been saying that for years. Whether they said it because they actually believe it, or because they don't want to break their existing business model is anyone's guess though.
- falcor84 4y agoThey kinda have until now, but I don't recall they ever stated that it was about "safety" as such. In any case, their recent demo was definitely premature.
- marcosdumay 4y agoThe idea that effective language models won't completely change search is laughable. But the idea that the application that will do it is language generation is about as ridiculous.
