"Extensions" and integration into the rest of the Google ecosystem could be how Bard wins at the end of the day. There are many tasks where I'd prefer an integration with my email/docs over a slightly smarter LLM. Unlike ChatGPT plugins, Google has the luxury of finetuning its model for each of their integrations.
The new feature for enriching outputs with citations from Google Search is also pretty cool.
- pphysch 3y agoNo doubt about it. Google isn't competing directly with ChatGPT, but is betting that having a small fine-tuned model "close to the data" will dramatically cost-outperform a huge general-purpose LLM. Less resource-intensive interference, less prompt engineering (less noise).
- tlogan 3y agoYes - but the big question is this: how to monetize this? This might completly kill search and ads.
- jmole 3y agoWorkspace is already monetized
- topicseed 3y agoBy showing ads... They'll figure out units that look native and history will repeat itself.
- plaidfuji 3y agoIt’s a competitive differentiator of workspace vs Office that will help retain existing users and maybe some day cause large enterprises to think more about switching.
- _ea1k 3y agoYes, exactly. Integration is where the real power of these agents can live. I really want an agent that can help me with pretty simple tasks - Hey agent, remember this link and that it is about hyper fast, solar powered, vine ripened, retroencabulators. - Hey agent, remember that me and Bob Retal talked about stories JIRA-42 and JIRA-72 and we agreed to take actions XYZ - Hey agent, schedule a zoom meeting with Joe in the afternoon next Tuesday. - Hey agent, what did I discuss with Bob last week? Something with retrieval and functional capability could easily end up being easier to use than the actual UIs that are capable of doing these kinds of things now.
- dustymcp 3y agooh so a working google assistant? :)
- singularity2001 3y agoHaving to explicitly say "remember that" is so anachronistic. Of cause computers (should) remember everything.
