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?
You've got a lot of examples, but for example I recently thought: "How many weekdays are there between Jan. 11th 2023 and Mar. 11th, 2023" and got GPT to write the python code and run it to get the answer. It worked first try, I could inspect the code it generated and saw it looked correct, it was within my original estimate. Took less than one minute.
I had a question about adding new RAM to my computer, about what things I should take into account since the original brand no longer makes paired dimms that match my current spec. It gave me a big bullet list of all of the things I should compare between my current ram, my current motherboard and any new ram I would choose to buy to ensure compatibility.
Both of these are things I might have gone to Google (or even reddit) for previously but I believed I could get faster answers from ChatGPT. I was right in both cases. I didn't have to construct a complicated query, I didn't have to filter SEO spam. I just asked the question in natural language as it appeared in my mind and ChatGPT gave excellent answers with very little delay.

#523Really loving the big button for using it on bard, which when clicked has no indication at all about what model it is currently actually using.
And when I ask the model what the base model it relies on is:
>I am currently using a lightweight model version of LaMDA, also known as Pathways Language Model 2 (PaLM-2).
Which appears completely hallucinated as I'm pretty sure LaMDA and PaLM-2 are completely different models.

I’m not OP but I do much fewer Google searches now as well.
Prior to ChatGPT, the majority of my Google searches ended up on either Wikipedia (for direct information), Reddit (for opinions/advice), or StackOverflow (for programming questions).
Now all those use cases can be done by ChatGPT, and it’s faster, especially because it requires less skimming to find useful data.

#525This is epic from a technical standpoint
Re: Gemini AI
#526Feels more like an Apple post "the best fastest blabla-est". How about making it available to try without the fluff?
I'm not a marketer but it's hard to see what the point of these glossy press releases without a call to action is. If I could have tried it today, I would have dropped everything and tried it. Now I will forget about it for a while and try it whenever I hear through osmosis that it's available. To the extent that I am excited and/or interested, the snooze button is pressed. Maybe that's the desired outcome?
At least they can claim SOTA with this, even if their product remains unavailable. Let's Google still appear competitive even if GPT-5 beats it and is publicly available before Gemini

#527To test whether bard.google.com is already updated in your region, this prompt seems to work: Which version of Bard am I using? Here in Europe (Germany), I get: The current version is Bard 2.0.3. It is powered by the Google AI PaLM 2 model Considering that you have to log in to use Bard while Bing offers GPT-4 publicly and that Bard will be powered by Gemini Pro, which is not the version that they say beats GPT-4, it…
I think the bard version is most likely a hallucination. I see the bard version from the latest update as `2023.12.06` in https://bard.google.com/updates with the title "Bard is getting its biggest upgrade yet with Gemini Pro".
I am guessing this update is not available in Europe.
Re: Gemini AI
#528So, better than GPT4 according to the benchmarks? Looks very interesting. Technical paper: https://goo.gle/GeminiPaper Some details: - 32k context length - efficient attention mechanisms (for e.g. multi-query attention (Shazeer, 2019)) - audio input via Universal Speech Model (USM) (Zhang et al., 2023) features - no audio output? (Figure 2) - visual encoding of Gemini models is inspired by our own foundational work o…

Re: Gemini AI
#529One 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…
To add to my comment above: Google DeepMind put out 16 videos about Gemini today, the total watch time at 1x speed is about 45 mins. I've now watched them all (at >1x speed). In my opinion, the best ones are: * https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UIZAiXYceBI - variety of video/sight capabilities * https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JPwU1FNhMOA - understanding direction of light and plants * https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D…

Re: Gemini AI
#530Marketing: Gemini 90.0% || GPT-4 86.4%, new SotA exceeding human performance on MMLU! Fine print: Gemini 90.0% chain of thought @ 32-shot || GPT-4 86.4% @ 5-shot Technical report: Gemini 83.7% @ 5-shot || GPT-4 86.4% @ 5-shot Granted, this is now the second-best frontier model in the world - but after a company-wide reorg and six months of constant training, this is not what success for Google looks like.
