Earlier quoted context omitted.

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.

Unless it was put in there manually, it's emergent, isn't it?

This demo is nuts: https://youtu.be/UIZAiXYceBI?si=8ELqSinKHdlGlNpX

It's a very smooth demo, for demo's sake.

So the killer app for AI is to replace Where's Waldo? for kids?

Or perhaps that's the fun, engaging, socially-acceptable marketing application.

I'm looking for the demo that shows how regular professionals can train it to do the easy parts of their jobs.

That's the killer app.

This makes me excited about the future

Let's hope we're in the 0.0001% when things get serious. Otherwise it'll be the wagie existence for us (or whatever the corporate overlords have in mind then).

Technically still exciting, just in the survival sense.

One observation: Sundar's comments in the main video seem like he's trying to communicate "we've been doing this ai stuff since you (other AI companies) were little babies" - to me this comes off kind of badly, like it's trying too hard to emphasize how long they've been doing AI (which is a weird look when the currently publicly available SOTA model is made by OpenAI, not Google). A better look would simply be to sh…

Didn't Google invent LLMs and didn't Google have an internal LLm with similar capabilities long before openai released the gpts? Remember when that guy got fired for making a claim it was conscious ? The look isn't good. But it's not dishonest.

No this is not correct. Arguably OpenAI invented LLMs with GPT3 and the preceding scaling laws paper. I worked on LAMDA, it came after GPT4 and was not as capable. Google did invent the transformer, but all the authors of the paper have left since.

No surprises here. Google DeepMind squandered their lead in AI so much that they now have to have “Google” prepended to their name to show that adults are now in charge.

What an ugly statement. DeepMind has been very open with their research since the beginning because their objective was much more on making breakthroughs with moonshot projects than near term profit.

Just some basic tests, it's decent but not as good as gpt3.5 or 4 yet. For instance, I asked it to generate a web page, which GPT does great everytime, and Gemini didn't even provide a full working body of code.

You can't test it. It is not available to the public yet.
