How long until advertisements are subtly introduced? I didn’t notice any specific brand of limoncello recommended in their demo.

Not long before it's forbidden by law with rules like “if you say the name of one brand, you must name at least two competitors” I suspect.

Looks like this was timed to coincide with Google adding search grounding data to Gemini API: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42008834 // https://developers.googleblog.com/en/gemini-api-and-ai-studi...

They are taking a page out of Microsoft’s strategy of clouding out all sunlight.

I hope very quickly. The sooner they start competing with Google for ads the better.

Are ads what people want?

Asked it to generate code for a library that was released in the past year - GPT-4 couldn't do it and this one just did it flawlessly. I am super impressed.

Same! (asking it to write code for the foss lib I maintain). This is immediately very useful.

That link just takes me to what looks like a normal chatgpt prompt. (I tried asking it the same things they showed in the article and I just get generic AI answers, not web search results.)

I really don't see the value of summarizing/repackaging web search hits. Given that 99% of SEO-tuned web content is just shilling for vendors who don't want to be seen, LLM search summarization will just repackage those ads into a more palatable format that is LESS useful than the original, while more successfully hiding the obvious signatures that used to be a clear warning sign that... THE.FOLLOWING.CONTENT.IS.MANIULATIVE.CRAP.
