I sometimes have the urge to scream beginning!
Apparently, so is Google and its CEO Sundar Pichai, Google is the king of AI and has an AI-powered chatbot/searchbot/trashbot named Bard. I struggled to remind the world that
Cool name aside, Bard is one of those things that should have been in the oven for a while. that it forms a pattern. Google should have waited.
Google should have had time to wait. Hurrying to beat Microsoft’s ChatGPT partnership announcement, Google couldn’t wait to tell us they had the same thing and people were testing it right now. It wasted money, upset employees, and made it look like Google was lagging behind in AI.
Money is the root of everything Google
Forget the notion that Google’s stock price fell 9% on bard demo day because of an astronomical error. I’m sure some investors are complete astronomy buffs, but in reality, the internet was one of the only things that really caught my attention.
But investors have realized that Google is playing around with its big moneymaker. Google Search is making as much money as a small country for the Mountain View giant, and between the new Bing doing something and Google talking about making big changes to search. , investors are a little nervous.
I can’t blame them. We’ve all seen Google’s idea go south and Bard could be another idea. The difference this time is that if it fails, it will affect the bottom line of the company.
That conclusion is all that investors care about.
This mistake confirms Google’s initial concerns that it was jumping into consumer AI products too early and not right. Google has a reputation for being the go-to place for the right information, and Google won’t let you get the wrong information. Making mistakes is also a common thing AI does and will continue to do.
With less to lose and more to gain for Microsoft, this is no problem. Few people use Bing regularly, and Bing is not synonymous with search like Google. No one says I’ll bing it and find it out, because basically nobody’s binging anything. People miss more mistakes on Bing than on Google.
What the ChatGPT integration brings to Microsoft is attention. Many of you will be using Bing for the first time in a long time and will find that you love it. For example, when you go to Bing for something, you can see how well Bing does image search on your phone.
At least they didn’t name it Cortana.
The biggest winner, of course, was OpenAI, whose coffers were inflated with Microsoft dollars. Good for them — they were able to leverage existing technology in ways that made people want to use it. I went to
The biggest losers seem to be Google employees. According to CNBC, many of them are very unhappy with the whole bard reveal.
“Dear Thunder, the launch and layoff of Bard has been hasty, botched and short-sighted. “Go back to the long-term outlook.“
This and many other disagreements have been shared by Google employees on internal forums. Employees seem to feel that the technology isn’t ready, Google isn’t ready, and consumers aren’t ready yet. It’s understandable that it came as a surprise to almost everyone who works at Google.
So?
For us, the answer is simple — sit back and watch the spectacle. If you’re investing money in Google, you may not enjoy it in the short term, but remember that the Internet and the stock market have very short memories.
It’s too late for Google to backtrack. Once you’ve got the cat out of the bag, you can only stick to your plan and do your best.Bard’s testing phase will solve the bug (probably impossible) and let people use it before it appears fine. I really hope it’s long enough for you to think about all the horrible things you’re trying to do. -Adjusted people to use. You don’t really need Google Tay.
Google is a global leader in AI technology, and AI has long been built into Google Search. Flying a cannon to blow the wind out of Microsoft’s sails was a silly move and didn’t have to happen.
