Re: Google shows off what ChatGPT would be like in Gmail and Google Docs
#22> Just like how Google put social features into every product back in the G+ days, the plan going forward is to build ChatGPT-style generative text into every Google product. Ah yes, the famous G+ integration that has been widely acclaimed as a successful, long-lasting and profitable move.
You know what still pisses me off? It’s tiny compared to most things, but it was the first thing that turned me against Google. The removal of the ‘+’ search operator. Before Google+ was a thing, a leading ‘+’ before a search term meant “this must be in the results”. Then they hijacked it for G+ and made me start "quoting" "every" "important" "term" in my query. Or maybe it was the Reader shutdown. Those both happene…
I miss it too, but it was the sharp end of the wedge in the dumbing-down of search query interpretation. Now they'll take every word of your query, find all the synonyms, word-stem everything (think "kicked" -> "kick"), and search for that instead of what you typed.
I know, some (the majority of) users don't know or care about the difference, and I'm glad that you can for now still enclose the things you mean verbatim in quotation marks, but I wouldn't be surprised to see that disappear.

My mind is blown right now. I have noticed differences between the two, but I thought they were just visual/UI differences. Is there somewhere I could learn more about how Google Workspace does not have parity with a free Gmail account?
> With Google Workspace Individual you get additional premium features including longer group calls and intelligent noise cancellation with Google Meet, and easy appointment booking through your own professional booking page. from https://workspace.google.com/individual/ See also: https://workspace.google.com/pricing.html https://support.google.com/a/answer/175121?hl=en
Do any of these show you what the workspace editions miss out on relative to regular Gmail?

#24First ChatGPT request - "Why can't my Google Workspace account do everything my @gmail account can?"
My mind is blown right now. I have noticed differences between the two, but I thought they were just visual/UI differences. Is there somewhere I could learn more about how Google Workspace does not have parity with a free Gmail account?
One I can tell you from personal experience is I couldn't set up a Workspace account on my Pixel to use Google Pay with NFC about a year ago. I don't know if it's possible today. I don't remember which step in the process didn't work. There are a couple other things I've run into trying to use a Workspace account as my personal account. But that's the main one that sticks in my mind.

#25I'm looking forward to the day when the "help me write" and the "summarize" features are the inverse of each other. You're sending an email. You enter "I'm on it" into the help me write box, and the AI generates a complete corporate-speak email using all the latest buzzwords. Then the recipients get the email and the summarize feature shows them: "I'm on it".
Same. More generally, I'd like a model that infers the most likely prompt(s) from transformer-generated words or images. I would much rather know what the prompter was trying to do than what his model generated as a result, and treat whatever was generated as a lossy wire encoding.

Slowly, no one even realized, our jobs were replaced by AI talking to itself.
... which illustrates the pointlessness of a whole lot of business activities.

#27Heh, this is just a mock-up. I guess Google really IS far, far behind in the AI race.

More Google than that: the product launch is wildly successful and they get a lot of traction, only to succumb to institutional ADHD and sunset it to free up resources to launch yet another chat app. Honestly, I’d love to know what childhood trauma afflicted Google to be the way it is.
It's all that hiring of the best of the best.
You probably have a point. The best of the best penalty get bored quickly and want to build the new shiny thing. We need more average people that can take care of maintaining existing applications.

Yeah, this has been a meme in the ancient times (2 months ago or so)

#30Just waiting for google to have a superior overall AI, but so phenomenally fucking up the product launch that it just fades into obscurity while getting eclipsed by its competitors. Really I can't think of anything more google than that. No idea why shareholders still tolerate their crap.
It will be a real name policy again. The AI will refuse to use any pseudonym you give it and it will insist on always calling your real full name.
It will be extra creepy because, you wont even be logged in, it will just identify you by using all the data it has about you.
Occasionally when you are chatting to it, it will blurt out some some embarrassing or private information about you.
