Comment on Google’s Bard AI can now access Gmail, Drive, Docs, and more
tdawg@lemmy.world 1 year agoThis is only true for generative and sumariziation systems that are directly consumer facing. Current AI systems have a myriad of applications for internal tooling and B2b type systems. At my work we’ve built a vast array of tools using all kinds of modern AI that have delighted our clients. Things that previously wouldn’t have been possible for the average small buisness like filling out patient information by voice.
People like to shit on AI because they think of the thing google search uses or ChatGPT but it really is changing the world just not all at once. There will be more consumer facing advencments but more than likely these will come in the forms of things like existing products that get augmented in some way to aid usability (AI tooling is fantastic at facilitating accessibility).
AI is never going away it is here to stay and it is continuing to grow and advance
While that’s technically AI… it’s really just ML dressed up. What the public thinks of AI is AGI…all you have done is describe automation at a higher level, and it’s been around for nearly two decades.
What the CEOs heard was AI…like legit AI(AGI)…what everyone who was developing it said was “here is a cool ML and general purpose automation tool”.
You clearly haven’t been in a meeting with stakeholders. This is not how these conversations go nor is this the expectation
Lol I don’t know what meetings you have been in but there are plenty with shareholders having smoke blown up their ass… it’s why stock goes up and down…over promise under deliver.

Agreed. My lead at work wanted us to start trying/using Cursor.so (VS Code fork with AI as a builtin feature) and it’s been pretty transformative. I don’t see a lot of “hey write me a program that does x” but in my (limited) use of this, a simple “why doesn’t this function work” has been pretty amazing.
I have a feeling this is a branding issue more than anything. When you could ask google plain language questions a decade ago and get responses, that seemed amazing. This to me seems like that but more advanced and I just hope they sort out the truthiness and privacy implications. On the one hand, I want the tech to advance, on the other, I would like it to not be such a privacy nightmare.
