The future of Google Search is AI. But not in the way you think. The company synonymous with web search isn’t all in on chatbots (even though it’s building one, called Bard), and it’s not redesigning its homepage to look more like a ChatGPT-style messaging system. Instead, Google is putting AI front and center in the most valuable real estate on the internet: its existing search results.
A good overview of some of the “AI” stuff Google is integrating into Search. Many of these actually seem quite useful and well thought out, but time will tell if the wider web will be able to game these new tools in the same way SEO killed regular Search.
Waiting for the hammer to drop …
“ai” is going to be used on-device to serve ads based on 24h/day data, orders of magnitude more than is currently the case.
There is no AI as it lacks predictable cabailities as of yet. Even a chimp has more PC than a modern AI. All it can do is copy and paste and in come cases composite.
NaGERST,
Did you mean “capabilities” and “Even a chimp has more AI than a modern PC”?
For fun, we might flip this logic around and say it’s humans that lack predictable capabilities. A lack of predictable capabilities is a human trait. As they say: to err is human.
For all the faults we criticize AI for, I think it’s remarkable how far AI has come at being passable in intelligent human level interactions. While it’s not yet general AI, it’s arguably intelligent enough to fool many people in a Turing test, which has long been the bar for declaring something to be intelligent. The fact that we have to keep moving the bar ever higher in order to declare these NN unintelligent really speaks to just how well AI research is going IMHO.
