Google again is gonna confuse the heck outta everyone like what they did with their messaging services, remember GTalk, Duo, hangouts, Messages. Their exec team is dumb af except in search, sheets and in buying Android.

Very impressive! I noticed two really notable things right off the bat: 1. I asked it a question about a feature that TypeScript doesn't have[1]. GPT4 usually does not recognize that it's impossible (I've tried asking it a bunch of times, it gets it right with like 50% probability) and hallucinates an answer. Gemini correctly says that it's impossible. The impressive thing was that it then linked to the open GitHub i…

Not sure what you tried, but it's not the new model. It hasn't been released, just "release announced".

I think Gemini Pro is in bard already? So that's what it might be. A few users on reddit also noticed improved Bard responses a few days before this launch

Am I the only one not hyped by these kinds of demos? I feel that these are aimed toward investors so they can stay calm and not lose their sh*t

I mean it's a great achievement, however I feel that until we get our hands on a product that fully enhances the life of regular person I'll truly say "AI is here, I can't imagine my life without it"

Of course if it's specifically used behind the scenes to create products for the general consumer no one will bat an eye or care

That's why there are lots of people who don't even know that Chat GPT exists

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Investors are getting impatient! ChatGPT has already replaced Google for me and I wonder if Google starts to feel the pressure.

> "ChatGPT has already replaced Google for me" Would you mind elaborating more on this. Like how are you "searching" with ChatGPT?

Searching is frequently a means to the end of answering some question. I find myself more often asking the question directly with both Google and chat, GPT. ChatGPT comes to mind sooner for a question that requires two or more searches.

This announcement makes we wonder if we are approaching a plateau in these systems. They are essentially claiming close to parity with gpt-4, not a spectacular new breakthrough. If I had something significantly better in the works, I'd either release it or hold my fire until it was ready. I wouldn't let openai drive my decision making, which is what this looks like from my perspective. Their top line claim is they ar…

It's a PR release. Probably Sundai needs to meet some objective by end of year.

In my opinion the field is not that rapidly advancing. The major breakthroughs, where something was really much better than everything before were the following:

GPT-2 February 2019

GPT-3 June 2020

CPT-3.5 December 2022

GPT-4 February 2023

Note that GPT-3 to GPT4 took almost 3 years!

Count me not impressed too. Let's make it a movement.
