Was this written by an LLM? It's pretty bad copy. Maybe they laid off their copywriting team...?
> "Now millions of developers are building with Gemini. And it’s helping us reimagine all of our products — including all 7 of them with 2 billion users — and to create new ones"
and
> "We’re getting 2.0 into the hands of developers and trusted testers today. And we’re working quickly to get it into our products, leading with Gemini and Search. Starting today our Gemini 2.0 Flash experimental model will be available to all Gemini users."
- utopcell 2y agoSorry, what's wrong with these phrases?
- echelon 2y agoIt reads like a transcribed speech. You can picture this being read from a teleprompter at a conference keynote. Short sentence fact. And aspirational tagline - pause for some metrics - and more. And. Today. And. And. Today.
- krona 2y ago> all of our products — including all 7 of them All the products including all the products?

- iamdelirium 2y agoWhy did you specifically ignore the remainder of the sentence? "...all of our products — including all 7 of them with 2 billion users..." It tells people that 7 of their products have 2b users.
- fluoridation 2y agoThat's not really any better, since "all of our products" already includes the subset that has at least 2B users. "I brought all my shoes, including all my red shoes."
- stavros 2y agoThey're pointing out that seven of their products have more than 2 billion users. "I brought all my shoes, including the pairs that cost over $10,000" is saying something about what shoes you brought, more than "all of them".
- fluoridation 2y agoWhy are they bragging about something completely unrelated in the middle of a sentence about the impact of a piece of technology? -Hey, are you done packing? -Yes, I decided I'll bring all my shoes, including the ones that cost over $10,000. What, they just couldn't help themselves?
- stavros 2y agoThe fact that they're using Gemini with even their most important products shows that they trust it.
- fluoridation 2y agoAgain, that's covered by "all our products". Why do we need to be reminded that Google has a lot of users? Someone oblivious to that isn't going to care about this press release.
- scarmig 2y agoScale and cost are defining considerations of LLMs. By saying they're rolling out to billions of users, they're pointing out they're doing something pretty unique and have confidence in a major competitive advantage. Point billions of devices at other high-performing competitors' offerings, and all of them would fall over.
- hombre_fatal 2y agoThe meme of LLM generated content is that it's verbose and formal, not that it's poorly written. It's why the quoted text is obviously written by a human.
