I remember the video screenshotted in the article. The one with the Bob stick figures fighting Google+, the same pasted in YT comments with utf8-art tanks. Bad times.
But I don't see what G+ has to do with Bard (for those unfamiliar, their answer to ChatGPT). Really a stretch.
- emodendroket 4y agoAccording to the article, there is a top-down directive to integrate generative AI into products all across Google, much the same way everything got Google+ integration at one point.
- raverbashing 4y agoAnd we all know how well did that work... "Why do I need a G+ account to comment on YouTube?"
- hot_gril 4y agoI wouldn't compare the two like this. "Google+ playbook" makes me think, let's rework how our products integrate together in the user's eyes while also pivoting the company's focus. Google was already focused on AI, and Bard integration is probably more behind the scenes and less broad. If anything, Google Assistant getting shoved onto everything a few years ago (even the wifi routers) was the classic Google+ move. And the Cloud push was bigger.
