Interesting; I wonder if their use of the "lightweight" model will make it less capable than ChatGPT.

It's challenging to take a CEO seriously who lacks enough self-awareness to un-ironically use the term "journey".

Similarly, just open it up for everyone to use, I'm using ChatGPT now, ship your product, don't just write a blog post about it.

>AI can be helpful in these moments, synthesizing insights for questions where there’s no one right answer. Soon, you’ll see AI-powered features in Search that distill complex information and multiple perspectives into easy-to-digest formats, so you can quickly understand the big picture and learn more from the web: whether that’s seeking out additional perspectives, like blogs from people who play both piano and guitar, or going deeper on a related topic, like steps to get started as a beginner. These new AI features will begin rolling out on Google Search soon.

This is actually really huge. If done right, Google will be increasing the amount of "no-click" searches an incredible amount. I'm interested to see how good of a job the "factual grounding" works - this linked blog post in the article is pretty interesting https://ai.googleblog.com/2022/01/lamda-towards-safe-grounde...
