I dont’t think now is the right time to optimize for cost (if I were in google’s shoes)
I would disagree They will rollout to masses, which is as important as its performance.
They could throw 5% of their available cash at it, and it would still make sense.
FB threw $19B at the whatsapp acquisition and it was a hell of a good deal.

I can confirm this. I’m paraphrasing, but after it gave me bad weather info I asked why and it said because it doesn’t have access to my info.
It gave me the weather in NYC. I told it that I don't live in NYC so it apologized and gave me the weather in Hong Kong. I told it that I don't live in Hong Kong and it gave me the weather in Seoul. It definitely doesn't appear to have basic access to account info. This is stuff that Google Assistant can do.
The results of those searches may be personalized to you.
Therefore, it has indirect access to a lot of your private data, but direct access to almost none.
This is such a liability for Google in this race.
What would stop Google from making bard better than GPT over next few months. Google has got: 1. best data to train LLM 2. Best AI engineers 3. Money to spend on training hardware for LLM I wouldn't keep Google out of this GPT trend so easily

Google has the tendency to do this when they aren't the first to set foot on new land. Don't get me wrong, they get a lot of things very right: Gmail works perfectly, I can't find a single reason to change my pixel for anything else, search, although there's been a lot of deterioration in the past couple of years, is still second to none. That said, self driving cars, google+, duo and all the other services they laun…
But AI is their turf! Google was always a ML company masquerading as a search engine. I guess that the art of "generating text" is not their kind of AI?

Innovator’s dilemma is how it’s called.
"The Innovator's Dilemma: When New Technologies Cause Great Firms to Fail, first published in 1997, is the best-known work of the Harvard professor and businessman Clayton Christensen. It expands on the concept of disruptive technologies, a term he coined in a 1995 article "Disruptive Technologies: Catching the Wave".[1] It describes how large incumbent companies lose market share by listening to their customers and providing what appears to be the highest-value products, but new companies that serve low-value customers with poorly developed technology can improve that technology incrementally until it is good enough to quickly take market share from established business."
I guess Google is safe. They don't listen to their customers.
I know it isn't strictly what they are designed for, but I always go for movie questions which is what I tend to search for a lot. Impressions: was very underwhelmed previously with charGPTs ability to tell be plot summaries for obscure films. It almost always made it up, even when prompted with a source (e.g. Wikipedia). Asking vague questions like "I can't remember but I'm looking for a film like war games but with…

Don't let them be in it then. There is no reason for children to have access to the internet.
Since this is HN, 50/50 this is satire/genuine
When my generation grew up the internet was much smaller and less harmfull. Almost nothing you could do would affect your AFK life.

There have been convictions based on child heads photoshopped onto adult bodies. Generative images will be treated the same. The lack of a real victim is treated as immaterial. All it needs is sufficient realism to be believable.
Was it a real child's head? Because, in that case, the actual child depicted in the photo could be seen as the victim. Especially if its a convincing fake.
