These days announcements like this just make me want to put on my tinfoil hat - what's in it for Google, though? Why make it more convenient for people to submit webpages to you?

>what's in it for google gemini is a paid product.

It's available free, visit: https://gemini.google.com (logged out, incognito, etc)

I know everyone hates ads or whatever, but why would anyone make content on their own website anymore if google and the browser are doing everything in their power to keep your users from interacting with your own page. Also I don't want to hear the crap about ads being too invasive, its their content, they can do that if they want, and you can not have access to their content. They have to be able to monetize the page to get viewers and its their mistake to make if they make it annoying that doesn't give everyone the right to their work.

yes it has a free tier. but if you use it lots, you'll run out of free credits.

this is google introducing a feature that will encourage more use of a product that they charge money for. we don't need to speculate "how does this benefit google" on the products that they directly charge for.

This point naturally leads to a more general discussion.

If AI can do everything and gets everyone out of jobs, who is going to consume the ‘everything’ produced by AI for someone to pay for the AI?

I don’t think UBI is a real solution, it’s too hand wavy.

By that, I think they meant they don’t want to enumerate the problems with UBI, of which there are many.

> Don't try and add personality or humour; remember you're a robot." > remember you're a robot." The anthropomorphization juxtaposed to the actual command is a bit ironic.

It really does make you wonder why all the models seem to require that. In principle, it shouldn't be a property of LLMs, and lol no it's not an "emergent property".

LLM are a text prediction engine. Starting the prompt with “you are a helpful assistant” help make subsequent text prediction more in line of that of a helpful assistant.
