You're betting against a 1,4 T behemoth on "code red" that invented Tensor flow, has enough compute for anything with custom hardware versus a company that "got 10 billion in azure compute credits".
OpenAI may have a headstart. But it's still early for transformers.
I'd guess that the brain drain that went into the media is a bit exaggerated for a company with 190 k. Employees.
Every release of chatbots in the past of a multinational ( meta, Microsoft, alphabet) got ridiculed because it hallucinated.
For some reason, the media ignored it more with OpenAI.
Side-Notes: Apple is doing well and Cook isn't Jobs either. Ballmer still helped prepare everything for the next in line ( cloud, office for Mac, ... ). He was not popular and he made expensive mistakes ( Nokia). But Azure was released in 2008 during his leadership too.
- spaceman_2020 4y agoAs an end user, all I’ve seen from Google over the last few years is a search engine that can’t beat blogspam, a maps product that increasingly throws up bizarre directions, and a Google Docs product that has had no meaningful updates. Google has been fumbling the ball even in things it used to lead in.
- NicoJuicy 4y agoYou're timing is a bit unfortunate, 4 days ago - https://www.theverge.com/2023/3/6/23627809/google-docs-drive-ui-update-material https://www.theverge.com/2023/3/6/23627809/google-docs-drive... Blogspam has always been a cat and mouse game Maps works fine for me though, but that could be just my perception --- Microsoft has been rolling out updates fast though, their delivery pipeline is well done
- standing_user 4y agoIt doesn't change the point for Google docs & co, it's just a refresh of the UI not a breakthrough update with new features if I'm reading the news that you have posted
- NicoJuicy 4y agoWhat features were missing from Google docs?
- spaceman_2020 4y agoAt the very least, at this point, I'd expect Google Docs to bake in some basic AI-supplemented creation features. Just autosuggest doc titles as a start. Google Sheets could also use some AI magic to make data analysis a little easier.
- NicoJuicy 4y agoAnnouncing AI features, here you go - https://workspace.google.com/blog/product-announcements/generative-ai https://workspace.google.com/blog/product-announcements/gene... On a personal note, generating a filename suggestion is not exactly what I've got in mind with useful AI features.
- ChatGTP 4y agoI think Google has had the tech for a long time, they just see it as a stupid and wreckless product. Now their hand has been forced to respond, so we’re in a kind of dangerous arms race.
- spaceman_2020 4y agoI'm currently talking to chatGPT and asking it how to fetch and filter records from a mongoDB database with a NextJS frontend. I described my record and use case. It told me that I should use a combination of aggregation pipelines and standard queries. Then it gave me the exact code matching my model. This is far from a stupid and wreckless product.
- endisneigh 4y agoLol. Tell us what else it can do.
- CatWChainsaw 4y agoI found your typo funny - wreck and reckless it is both, but wreckless, it will not be!
- rvz 4y agoExactly. We will see the next time that Google announces a new competitor [0] to ChatGPT or any other product but this time with DeepMind's direct involvement. Many here have been sucked into the O̶p̶e̶n̶AI.com hype and have already forgotten about DeepMind. The media has completely exaggerated the 'death of Alphabet'.
