It's strange as the Magic Editing feature, whilst showing promise turned out to be massively underwhelming... It's kind of slow, so you can't really experiment freely and the results usually aren't that great (maybe with practice it would be easier to get good results but that's not happening due to the clunky speed)
- quitit 3y agoGoogle's smartphone/AI announcements are used to portray them as being massively ahead of their smartphone competitors. The actual product on the other hand is not what they advertise. Take Duplex for example. It was meant to be this flexible and natural AI that even the store wouldn't notice. In 2023 it's a clunky chatbot experience, it has a patchwork of features depending on the user's location and sounds so much like a robocall that there is a problem with how many stores hang up on it.
- annaaa 3y agoIf I remember correctly, Duplex was intentionally modified this way after controversy from the initial demo, when, during a call, it didn't obviously identify itself as an automated system.
- quitit 3y agoHaving to identify as a chatbot and provide a call back number was a requirement under some states' laws - while this seems like something they should have looked into before advertising it, my comment was with a wider scope to how it performs: it's not flexible and it doesn't sound natural.
