Google, supposedly full of AI experts, doesn't understand what current AI is good for and its limitations. A lot of AI critics (and enthusiasts) expect AI to be a know-it-all that never fails and provides authoritative factual answers. But current technology AI isn't good at all for this.
I use AI everyday for giving me opinions, starting points for re/search, reviewing my work and brainstorming. AI is fabulous for that and was a life changer for me. Hallucinations are actually welcome because they provide new perspectives. And when AI fails me, that's not different from getting an unhelpful perspective from a friend.
I wish more people were focusing on what LLMs do best: augmenting human abilities rather than replacing them.

- bcrl 2y agoI think Google understands perfectly that current AI is great at increasing the revenue produced by selling ads. Limitations are irrelevant if they have no impact on selling more ads. It takes a long time for the cycle of brand destruction to impact reported revenue.
