In Spanish, we have a saying: "Perfect is the enemy of good."
Personally, I didn't think the generative results were that bad. What I feel is that Google, in its quest for perfection, will never use LLMs in its products. Advisory services in health and law are out of reach for a significant percentage of the world's population. Here, the preference is to avoid benefiting the majority of the planet to prevent a small number of erroneous responses that any human with common sense should be able to avoid.

- tivert 2y ago> In Spanish, we have a saying: "Perfect is the enemy of good." It's a saying in English too, frequently formulated as advice: "don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good." > Here, the preference is to avoid benefiting the majority of the planet to prevent a small number of erroneous responses that any human with common sense should be able to avoid. The glue example isn't the problem, it's just an obvious expression of it. The real problem is when it does the same thing, but it's not so obvious. And I can think of at least one situation like that: mixing cleaning products. I could totally see an LLM, say, advising a user to mix bleach and vinegar to get out a stain, and the user actually doing it.
