The stakes certainly are high for Google. This is the first time anyone has posed a real threat to Google’s search dominance.
It’s not likely to be a problem until chatbots can solve their hallucination problem.

The hallucinations will be solved with faster hardware, deeper networks, more data, and better algorithms. That will likely happen much sooner than most people expect.
Faster hardware and deeper networks will happen with the new 3nm tensor processors due early next year. More data is already available. Better algorithms will include more adversarial feedback and boosting [wikipedia.org].

Indeed. Also, LLMs don’t wear diapers.
But that’s okay because the comparison was a metaphor. I wasn’t saying that an LLM is literally a small child not yet potty-trained.

Microsoft in partnership with OpenAI.
Google still dominates, but unless they improve quickly, that could change.
Microsoft is trying yet again to introduce an assistant into Windows. Having just murdered Cortana, the now have a ChatGPT one in preview builds of Windows 11. From what I’ve seen it’s deeply unimpressive, and would doubtless become one of those things you immediately disable after installation completes, but still… It’s there and Google seems to be worried.
I’ve been testing out Google’s Bard AI. It’s okay… Sometimes the answers it gives are quite good, but almost always excessively long. You can ask fo
Sorry, I didn’t realize this wasn’t clear. ChatGPT, of course. And Bing Chat, which is based on ChatGPT.

No, I think that the stakes for Google are higher than, say, Microsoft making Bob Clippy Cortana Copilot successful, because the standard is different for Google.
OpenAI pulled from whatever-they-could. There are questions about exactly *what* they pulled from and the nature of those sources, but ChatGPT seems to be proving at least somewhat-useful to some people.
Google has been well known to be scraping an absurd amount of data for decades. They have trillions of e-mails, contacts, calendars, documents, and

I think Google is taking the “systemd” approach to products – keep throwing stuff out there until something shows enough “staying power” and then sort of maintain it.
Personally I would prefer Google take a more UNIX approach to products – get a product stablized, developed, showing some following, then maintain the heck out of it, even if it means working on fewer products at the same time.
Did they not know that Gemini is already the name of a popular cryptocurrency trading exchange? Is there an office of registering names to avoid conflicts like this? Did they bother doing a quick Google search, or was it intentional?

There are dozens of companies and products that use “Gemini”.

It’s not a conflict because they are two different businesses and don’t compete.
When registering a trademark, you only register it for a specific business, product, or service.
Somehow, I do not think so. By the time Google has something halfway usable, the AI hype will be over.
