To quote Gemini, what the quack! Even with the understanding that these are handpicked interactions that are likely to be among the system's best responses, that is an extremely impressive level of understanding and reasoning.

Does it really need to have affectations like "What the quack!"? These affectations are lab grown and not cute.

There's a huge amount of criticism for Sundar on Hacker News (seemingly from Googlers, ex-Googlers, and non-Googlers), but I give huge credit for Google's "code red" response to ChatGPT. I count at least 19 blog posts and YouTube videos from Google relating to the Gemini update today. While Google hasn't defeated (whatever that would mean) OpenAI yet, the way that every team/product has responded to improve, publiciz…

Your metric for AI innovation is…number of blog posts?

Curious how canned this demo is, in the last scene the phone content rotates moments before the guy rotates it so its clearly scripted

I suspect the cutting edge systems are capable of this level but over-scripting can undermine the impact

It's truly astounding to me that Google, a juggernaut with decades under its belt on all things AI, is only now catching up to OpenAI which is on all camps a fraction of its size.

How many other companies can you say that have possibly passed GPT-4?

It’s impressive, but we know that there’s a lot more than just that.

Wow, that is jaw-dropping. I wish I could see it in real time, without the cuts, though. It made it hard to tell whether it was actually producing those responses in the way that is implied in the video.

right. if that was real time, the latency was very impressive. but i couldn't tell.

One of my biggest concerns with many of these benchmarks is that it’s really hard to tell if the test data has been part of the training data. There are terabytes of data fed into the training models - entire corpus of internet, proprietary books and papers, and likely other locked Google docs that only Google has access to. It is fairly easy to build models that achieve high scores in benchmarks if the test data has…

It's worth remembering that AI is more than LLMs. DeepMind is still doing big stuff: https://deepmind.google/discover/blog/millions-of-new-materi...

Yes, it is very successful in replacing useful results with links to shopping sites.

Gemini Ultra isn't released yet and is months away still.

Bard w/ Gemini Pro isn't available in Europe and isn't multi-modal, https://support.google.com/bard/answer/14294096

No public stats on Gemini Pro. (I'm wrong. Pro stats not on website, but tucked in a paper - https://storage.googleapis.com/deepmind-media/gemini/gemini_...)

I feel this is overstated hype. There is no competitor to GPT-4 being released today. It would've been a much better look to release something available to most countries and with the advertised stats.
