I think Google wishes it was 2013 not 2023, so they don't have to sacrifice their ad-driven revenue.
Nobody's going to wade through mountains of crap and ads to find a nugget of useful information anymore. Google actually has an interest to have moderately useful but not great results because the faster a user finds what they need, the fewer ad impressions they generate. This practice won't fly from now on.
Using Google feels like dumpster diving today, compared to the polite and helpful AI experience. Of course chat bots need search to fix hallucinations, but search won't be the entry point anymore.
Who owns the entry point owns the ads. In a few years we might be able to run local models, so nobody will be able to shove ads and spam in our faces. Stable Diffusion proved it can be done for images, we need to have the same for text.
The future will be like "my AI will be talking to your AI", using the internet without AI will be like going out without a mask during COVID. I don't see ads having a nice life under this regime.

I wish I could see another result, but I would be surprised if the masses didn't get pushed into adopting some proprietary personalized cloud-based AI platform that operates on a lower tier ad-based revenue model and a premium subscription model. Local AIs might be a thing but at least for open source ones, probably not the norm and will have disadvantages as well as advantages.

If Google just sat on a poor search algorithm somebody would come up and overthrow them - duck duck go or about a million others. But they weren't able to do that. Why? Because nobody was able to come up with a better search engine so far.
And now when it's obvious that search engines are past and LLMs are a much better way to go Google is racing with everyone to it.
Everything else is just a wacky conspiracy theory without any substance to it, but invoking magic words "evil corporation" does have an effect regardless of the matter discussed.
Pathetic.

You're complaining about the search results. OpenAI isn't a challenge to their ad model. Getting better search results has nothing to do with ads. No one is clicking through ads looking for information. They are clicking through shitty search results that are SEO packed to the tits, making the whole slew of results be generic AI generated crap.
Google WANTS better search results, that meet the users needs, to drive traffic. OpenAI has massively cornered Google in certain information seeking type searches, which Google wants to tackle right away. Google's ads have absolutely no threat from better search results.
visarga t1_j59y628 wrote
When people choose to use a chat interface it means they won't actually search the web manually, they got AI to do it for them. So, who sees the ads? The language model completely replaces the search user interface.
duffmanhb t1_j59z0nd wrote
You're not thinking larger. Google searches aren't just things like, "What's the velocity speed required to break gravity?" or "What is the kwh rate in California for the last 10 years?"
People will still use Google, or some future permutation of it. Long as they are using Google, they are feeding them data, which they'll use to deliver ads (probably better than ever). It doesn't have to deliver those ads through Google.com, but in many other ways. They can still deliver your precise answer, but ender that, deliver products that are perfectly optimized to be exactly what you are looking for. If it's something you want to buy, or could potentially buy that you don't know you want yet... All this AI data Google will generate from you using their AI, will be able to deliver ads better than ever.
Say for instance you're a PERFECT candidate for solar panels on your roof. But it's nothing you ever even consider, never been educated on, haven't looked into, and just really aren't interested in it. Google will be able to use your AI searches to get such an intimate understanding of you, to realize, 'Visarga is an amazing cadidate for residential solar and they don't even know it. But they would absolutely love to get solar for their home if they knew more about it. The data shows they absolutely would be thrilled to have this. So we can now find a way to get them in contact with an installer so they can get solar."
That's MASSIVELY valuable for EVERYONE. The installer who wants to not spend time educating everyone, and seeking out ideal candidates, and the consumer who would be thrilled to get this, but has no idea about it. This is what Google already tries, and with the data AI models will be able to deliver, are going to optimize this beyond belief. Sure, you wont get your answer ad on a ChatGPT style interface, but that's probably not what the future of this AI integration is going to look like. It's not going to be some blank interface you're seeing now. It'll be integrated into other things.
StillBurningInside t1_j59txea wrote
When i ask my AI app on my phone, it will do the searching for me, give me the answer i want, and i'll never see an ad.
We don't need search engines anymore. Our AI's will do the heavy lifting. They will become the way we seek information and solve our problems. This was inevitable.
duffmanhb t1_j59yp0e wrote
People will use google to research and search things... Further, the search engine itself isn't where it needs to deliver ads. It's gathering data on you to figure out what you want and need in that moment, and if it's something to buy, they will use this data to optimally find exactly the most perfect product you are seeking. If anything this level of depth and AI will improve their ad delivery across the web.
You're acting like Google wont know how to adapt and instead just sit around complaining that their old model and way of doing things doesn't work.

I suppose you doubt that they have interesting models to release, and not that they are willing to relax AI saftey rules, but google undoubtedly has interesting models. They have demonstrated their capacity in the past with things like AlphaGo, and they have insane amounts of computing resources, data, and brain power.
GPT3 is not notable because open AI has ML tech no one else has, but because the resources needed to train such a thing is beyond smaller labs. Google can undoubtedly manage it.
sartres_ t1_j57n0fl wrote
No, I doubt they'll reduce their "safety" restrictions. They have a lot of interesting experiments and they never release any of it. They never even use it. It's endemic to the culture, they've been doing it for years. Remember when they showed off AlphaZero, totally upended the chess AI world, refused to release any of it or use it again, and dropped the project?
We'll end up getting LaMDa and Imagen as a $10k corporate subscription that's somehow still more locked down than ChatGPT, and in a few years google execs will be scratching their heads when Microsoft owns the AI market.

They don't have a business model for stuff like this. While most of their products are free and consumer-oriented, Google does have an enterprise ecosystem, mainly Google Cloud.

The AI team does not like the general public and there's no way they'll go with a scheme like Docs or gmail.

These are not using their advances to their potential. I could be wrong, but I see this going poorly.

Not only has Google managed it, they have most likely the best models in the world. PaLM is already the benchmark for basically all LLM tests, and it's even been fine tuned - for example medPaLM recently was shown in a paper that puts its diagnostic skills a hairsbreadth away from marching a clinician.
I think I just assume that everyone already... Knows this, at least in this sub, but Google is far and away the technical leader in this, not even when including DeepMind.

Just because I don't physically have access to these models, doesn't mean they don't exist. Google regularly works with other institutions when running research with PaLM and their other advancements, and people frequently duplicate their findings.
Additionally, we have access to things like Flan-T5, tiny models fine tuned with their latest work that are about as powerful as gpt3, 5b vs 170b parameters.

I know Flan-T5, it is probably the best small model, but it only gets good scores for extractive and classification tasks, not for creative writing.

Google being a pioneer in the space doesn't mean they kept up. More likely, they trying to frantically leverage their massive data sets and compute to create a new model.
This will be trivial but look at Microsoft. They bought a huge stake Openai then immediately laid off their internal ai team. With the exception of a few choice individuals, I assume Google is equally bloated.

I don't think that's the case. Please read the papers, look into the actual research - it sounds like you are like... Mad at Google, but that's a separate consideration than the tech they have. It's unquestionably better than any other LLMs we know about, regardless of how you feel about Google
visarga t1_j5lv4bc wrote
The point I was making is that without direct access to the model we don't know. It's easy to hide the embarrassing things and only show the nice ones. Maybe the model does get lower perplexity, but it also has to be aligned properly, and OpenAI ain't so open about their alignment work, we can't be sure what is the gap now.

Google is by far the leader. They invented the transformer model that GPT is based on after all. Where they differ is that they always keep it to themselves and release papers but no code and. k access to anyone outside Google.
visarga t1_j59rhwa wrote
So, the supposition here is that Google's AI capabilities are superior. Let's see:
- OCR: worse than Amazon Textract
- voice (TTS): worse than Natural Reader
- translation: worse than DeepL
- YT recommendations: very mediocre and inflexible
- assistant: still as dumb as it was 10 years ago
- search: a crapshoot of spam and ads, with occasional nuggets of useful data
- language models: no demo, just samples, easy to fake or make seem more impressive than they really are
- image generation: same, no demo and no API, just cherry picked samples (they can keep their image generators, nobody needs them anymore)
- AI inference: GCP is inferior to Azure and AWS, and Azure has GPT-3
- speech recognition: here they do have excellent AI, but the open sourced Whisper is just as good or better (from OpenAI - one of the few models they did release)
- computational photography: yes, they are great at it
- ML frameworks: TensorFlow lost the war with PyTorch
By the way, the people who invented the transformer, they all left Google and have startups, except one. So they lost key innovators who didn't think Google was supporting them enough.
The problem with Google was not lack of capability - it was the fact that they were making too much money already on the current system. But what works today won't necessarily work tomorrow. They are like Microsoft 20 years ago, who lost web search, mobile and web browser markets because they were too successful at the moment.

Google's models are leaps and bounds beyond OpenAI
It's frustrating that they wont release it, but it's by and large BECAUSE it's so advanced. Google's AI is connected to the internet, so all of its information is up to date, dynamic, and constantly evolving. The very nature of connecting it to the web with constant streams of information pretty much inherently remove most safe guards and leave open tons of room for rapid growth and abuse that Google wont be able to stay ahead of against millions of people using it.
It's also potentially a general AI. It's not just ChatGPT style, but their AI is also connected to EVERYTHING you can imagine. Not just knowledge databases from 2020 and before... It's more closely resembling an actual mind like human's that have tons and tons of different "brains" all working together. You can work with maps, weather data, traffic, breaking news, art, internet of things, you name it. They connect everything in their AI
This is what Google has been working on the past year. It's entirely on improvement and guard rails. But it looks like Google has realized the cat's out of the bag, so they want to bring it to market sooner than later before everyone starts building businesses on the OpenAI framework instead of theirs.
Surur OP t1_j56fmrk wrote
Google executives hope to reassert their company’s status as a pioneer of A.I. The company aggressively worked on A.I. over the last decade and already has offered to a small number of people a chatbot that could rival ChatGPT, called LaMDA, or Language Model for Dialogue Applications.
Google’s Advanced Technology Review Council, a panel of executives that includes Jeff Dean, the company’s senior vice president of research and artificial intelligence, and Kent Walker, Google’s president of global affairs and chief legal officer, met less than two weeks after ChatGPT debuted to discuss their company’s initiatives, according to the slide presentation.
They reviewed plans for products that were expected to debut at Google’s company conference in May, including Image Generation Studio, which creates and edits images, and a third version of A.I. Test Kitchen, an experimental app for testing product prototypes.
Other image and video projects in the works included a feature called Shopping Try-on, a YouTube green screen feature to create backgrounds; a wallpaper maker for the Pixel smartphone; an application called Maya that visualizes three-dimensional shoes; and a tool that could summarize videos by generating a new one, according to the slides.
Google has a list of A.I. programs it plans to offer software developers and other companies, including image-creation technology, which could bolster revenue to Google’s Cloud division. There are also tools to help other businesses create their own A.I. prototypes in internet browsers, called MakerSuite, which will have two “Pro” versions, according to the presentation.
In May, Google also expects to announce a tool to make it easier to build apps for Android smartphones, called Colab + Android Studio, that will generate, complete and fix code, according to the presentation. Another code generation and completion tool, called PaLM-Coder 2, has also been in the works.
Google, OpenAI and others develop their A.I. with so-called large language models that rely on online information, so they can sometimes share false statements and show racist, sexist and other biased attitudes.
That had been enough to make companies cautious about offering the technology to the public. But several new companies, including You.com and Perplexity.ai, are already offering online search engines that let you ask questions through an online chatbot, much like ChatGPT. Microsoft is also working on a new version of its Bing search engine that would include similar technology, according to a report from The Information.
Mr. Pichai has tried to accelerate product approval reviews, according to the presentation reviewed by The Times. The company established a fast-track review process called the “Green Lane” initiative, pushing groups of employees who try to ensure that technology is fair and ethical to more quickly approve its upcoming A.I. technology.
The company will also find ways for teams developing A.I. to conduct their own reviews, and it will “recalibrate” the level of risk it is willing to take when releasing the technology, according to the presentation.
Google listed copyright, privacy and antitrust as the primary risks of the technology in the slide presentation. It said that actions, such as filtering answers to weed out copyrighted material and stopping A.I. from sharing personally identifiable information, are needed to reduce those risks.
For the chatbot search demonstration that Google plans for this year, getting facts right, ensuring safety and getting rid of misinformation are priorities. For other upcoming services and products, the company has a lower bar and will try to curb issues relating to hate and toxicity, danger and misinformation rather than preventing them, according to the presentation.
The company intends, for example, to block certain words to avoid hate speech and will try to minimize other potential issues.
The consequences of Google’s more streamlined approach are not yet clear. Its technology has lagged OpenAI’s self-reported metrics when it comes to identifying content that is hateful, toxic, sexual or violent, according to an analysis that Google compiled. In each category, OpenAI bested Google tools, which also fell short of human accuracy in assessing content.
“We continue to test our A.I. technology internally to make sure it’s helpful and safe, and we look forward to sharing more experiences externally soon,” Lily Lin, a spokeswoman for Google, said in a statement. She added that A.I. would benefit individuals, businesses and communities and that Google is considering the broader societal effects of the technology.

They got to do the right thing and wait until a user requests shopping help. And then come up with a useful suggestion that will not leave a sour taste if you take it. Unrelated ads - completely out of the question, they would break the conversation.

Once Google makes it's own ChatGPT that is better, and can handle longer conversation threads than ChatGPT. I will my stories from ChatGPT to there, but then again I'll believe when I see it.

stop pretending to be ignorant

Who knows if that comes from LaMDA or it was redacted by a human. We can't try it. We can try it on chatGPT though.

Et tu, Google? Everyone is a cowboy! I can't believe that they're scared of OpenAI. I wonder who OpenAI is afraid of. Maybe some startup in Kenya no one has heard of.

Besides having AI run the worlds biggest websites? Or do you mean besides having an AI that can accurately predict what people are the most likely to watch and enjoy and nail it?
Or are you referring to some of the open source projects under https://ai.google/ ?

>How so?
Because Google Research and DeepMind are world-leading research laboratories. This is universally understood by everyone who works in machine learning.
>What has google done that's open source or are we supposed to take their word for it
I can see you have no idea what open source even means. Name three great open source things that OpenAI has done. No googling.
>Research papers that are "peer reviewed" don't count for obvious reasons
Oh, like the transformer architecture that everybody uses? ChatGPT and the DALL-E series would not exist if it weren't for Google Research. How about Chain of Thought prompting? What about instruction tuning, Mixture-of-Denoisers and LAMBADA? Chinchilla scaling laws? Socratic models? AlphaFold, AlphaTensor and DreamerV3? So on and so forth.
I haven't even mentioned any of their SOTA language/image models.
