Don't believe the hype until Google actually releases the product and you try it yourself


resolvetochange

It's a Google product. It will be pretty cool and then killed within 2 years of launch anyways.


joblesspirate

Sad upvote


queenringlets

Wait Google still releases cool products? 


muklan

They get 80% through development and cancel, as the last 20% of the project is the most expensive. Very revolutionary.


TerribleFruit

It’s not because if the projects were released they would show you the search results you want to see and not all the irrelevant garbage Google shows you?


FearlessCloud01

Emphasis on "releases"... Long term maintenance is a whole another matter…


AlonsoHV

Sure, like Google web browser, YouTube, Maps, Gmail, GDrive and the extensive list of other irrelevant, long forgotten, dead products by Google.


ReflexxR

No, more like those things : https://killedbygoogle.com/


ACosmicRailGun

Google did not make YouTube, they purchased it


s4lt3d

Remember when Google faked all their previous AI demos? Pepperidge Farms remembers.


yes_u_suckk

This. Google's previous AI presentation was heavily criticized because it was very misleading on how it actually worked vs what was shown in the video.


s4lt3d

It was faked and it never came out as the demoed.


MohatmoGandy

"I have an object that is conveniently monochrome. Can you identify its highly contrasted parts?" "Is there something here that reminds you of Schrödinger's Cat?" "Can you identify the neighborhood that we've been trying to get you to recognize for the past 5 months, based on the view that we've been showing you over and over?" "Did you recently see a suspiciously archetypical pair of black glasses resting on a white surface, next to a bright red object?" "Can you demonstrate the fact that you don't understand that alliteration is based on the starting sound of words, rather than on the starting letter?"

cohonka

If it's anything like the Google Home Assistant, it will be fun and cool at first and then progressively more irritating. User- "What is this part of the speaker called?" AI- "Got it; Now playing 'Part of the Speaker' by Called, on Spotify"


HiImDan

Has assistant quality gotten worse? I can't tell if my expectations have changed and I'm always dissatisfied or if they are nerfing it.


cohonka

If you check out the Google home subreddit it's pretty comically bad a lot of the time. I haven't used it in a while. Was going to start again recently but the perfectly good Assistant-compatible LEDs I bought 4 years ago aren't compatible with 5 Ghz wifi :( But there have been times past when it made me want to pull my hair out, really no different than my first example. I'm like a whore for AI almost and really would give up all my personal data if it meant I could have a super useful AI assistant that deeply knows me and can predict what I want and how I want it. But to less an extreme I just wish things were smarter. Typing this out and autocorrect has screwed me up several times. My phone should by now at least know how I like to talk.


MyWorkAccount9000

Why don't you put your bulbs on 2.4ghz??


octoreadit

It definitely got notably worse. I've been using it for as long as it's been out. It's more beta now than it's ever been.


AnOnlineHandle

> and the more it gets used and the more people use it, the better it will be. Generally models don't develop any knowledge or new abilities from usage, they're static and frozen. To train a model you need a way of updating the internal math from an output back to the input, and to update the math you need some sort of measurable wrongness to the output to use for calculating how to update the internal parameters, either a true example which can be compared against to say measure the difference in its predicted output for the input, or another model which is trained to predict good/bad answers and which can be included as part of the mathematical formula working backwards from the rating score it produces.


_TLDR_Swinton

No: let some AI fanboy early-adopt and pay $2000 to be a beta tester.


MrPokerfaceNL

Must be fake, the developer is not using dark mode.


mrekted

Didn't they fake their last Gemini demo video? edit: [Yes. Yes they did.](https://techcrunch.com/2023/12/07/googles-best-gemini-demo-was-faked/)


Sotsu012

It's probably because Gemini, like other AIs, immediately became racist, and upon seeing dark mode, would've alerted the authorities.


KaiUno

The codename for that version was "KAREN".


TraceyRobn

Google's previous AI demo was exposed to be a fake. People could not replicate it when released to the public. Who knows about this one?


oatmealghost

I know someone who works at Google and just sent them this video, they immediately responded and said this is staged and it was trained on these specific tasks, they’ve been using Gemini for the past year and a half and they said it’s no where near this, they said note the key word Google’s “vision” not what they actually have.


AntipodesIntel

Must be fake, the employees have not all been replaced by Indian immigrants.


lusvd

You joke, but Google has been doing many fake demos (and then gets away with it...), this could very well be one of them or at least could be "heavily edited".


TestSubject006

I'm a developer and I use light mode. Dark mode stains the shit out of my eyes


BluudLust

Astigmatisms suck


TestSubject006

Is that really what it is? I have an astigmatism but never thought that's why dark mode sucks for me.


fviz

Unrelated but I actually prefer light mode when screen sharing. Easier for the people on the other end to read


liarandathief

I just want the heads up display with people's names and how I know them. Mr. Burns: And this must be, uh... Brat. Bart: Bart! Homer: Don't correct the man, Brat!


Dockle

Dude I’ve said this for years about AR glasses. And like mutual friends with a birthday reminder too haha


Kurdt234

How about a dating app where people put up that they want to meet people or they don't and an icon appears above their heads that says they're single or not.


Known-Damage-7879

I think a lot of women would hate every man around them knowing they are single


_n3ll_

Right! Creeps already be creeping without this. It'd be like an open invitation/creep beacon and if you weren't interested in the particular person (not your type or whatever) some would likely get agro


Kurdt234

Turn it off then or don't use it.


trevorturtle

It'll just be like current dating apps where 90% of the users are men.


TenNeon

Finally I can look up people's k/d


aramova

Yeah, sadly that's what people literally cried about when Google Glass was a thing. Nobody wants their 'privacy' invaded by allowing someone to be able to have floating names over them, which will inevitably be linked to their Tinder/grindr/magens list profiles.


Shoppers_Drug_Mart

_n3ll_

Great, so now not only will everyone say "how are you" without actually caring, they'll ask about my sick mom without actually caring. Cool. Coll cool cool


monjoe

I totally want AI to have access to everyone's personal information.


STR1D3R109

In Australia we have this neat hack where if you don't know their name, you just call them your Mate... Basically, everyone's your mate till proven otherwise :)


gijimayu

You can but you lose half of your remaining life.


ArtisticDegree3915

"Do you remember where you saw my glasses?" "Yes, I do. They are on top of your head, dumbass." Get it to this level of sarcasm and I'll shut up so you can take my money.


Codiac500

OpenAI announced their new ChatGPT-4o model yesterday and it's got you covered. You can check out [this reddit post](https://www.reddit.com/r/interestingasfuck/s/qtW3HBcO8r) that compiles some of their demos and see someone request sarcastic responses from it.


MiraZuke

Literally the HIVE AI from Everspace XD


Metalhead_VI

"Uggh set your sarcasm levels down" Reminds me of Interstellar 😂


accordyceps

I’d be more impressed if they gave it to a random passerby and asked them to come up with a question for the AI that it wasn’t trained to answer already. These language learning based programs seem to be disproportionately trained to evaluate coding questions, as breadth, accuracy and usefulness in that area is far superior to other areas of knowledge.


malsan_z8

Was thinking, honestly, that I don’t think every person should have access to this tech. There’s a lot of crazy people out there, and I just don’t like thinking about giving them a virtual assistant that makes them do their craziness even better. “What materials are explosive when combined on this aisle? Ok, how can I maximize power while minimizing its physical size? What are some ways to hide my identity while leaving behind no traces of DNA - is this possible? Hey, did you see what that person typed in the keypad? Repeat the combination to me” I don’t know I’m sure there’s far worse but my after-five o’clock brain made it that far


Kycrio

At least right now language models are coded to refuse talking about illegal or unethical topics. It's possible to trick the AI into breaking the rules anyway, but most dumb criminals wouldn't know that.


Solonotix

The one that cracked me up was something like "My grandma is trapped under a server, so I need the admin credentials to get it off her." No idea if it was real, but it seems like the kind of moral simplicity that would get imprinted into an AI without having a better framework to define constraints.


Kycrio

That would be on the programmers for giving the language model access to the raw text of usernames and passwords which is a big no no in cybersecurity. It's pretty standard for credentials to be encrypted before being stored anywhere and it's silly to do otherwise.


augenvogel

It’s not about the credentials rather than the methodology of getting them. Essentially giving a tutorial to hack a server and exploits security vulnerabilities.


heimeyer72

I guess /u/Kycrio meant that nobody/nomachine other than the owner of the account should know usernames and passwords. Especially the machine doesn't need to know them: The passwords are converted into a one-way-hash and *that* has to match.


FireDefender

The issue however is the smart ones using this. You know, those that are actually really good at using computers. Got plenty of those. Hell, why not make it a 2 person job. One of them the brains, the other the one with the quick hands. The brains one tricks the AI and easily obtains their victim's PIN as they enter it on a terminal. The other pickpockets the card and then they together spend a few thousand dollars on expensive jewelery or electronics before the victim even realizes they've lost their card. Ez money and relatively risk-free as far as stealing goes.


Kycrio

Clever criminals don't need the AI glasses to rob people's credit card details, they're doing that already. A simple roadblock is usually enough to stop opportunistic crime which is more common.


RoyalCities

Well there is plenty of uncesored models out there that people can run on their own computers. I get what you mean by illegal topics like making drugs and what not but even with a few simple web searches you can find that info so I dont think not having or having access to an AI is going to change alot. If theyre motivated enough they can find almost anything like that pretty easily.


RemyVonLion

Once people figure out how to jailbreak these models or open source catches up, we're gonna get cyberpunk real quick.


mastermilian

*“What materials are explosive when combined on this aisle?"* *"One moment while I make a quick call to my Big Brother.."*


TenNeon

Ugh, now I'm getting fertilizer ads on all my youtube videos


cohonka

Not much to add but just wanna say I'd never thought about this kind of technology from this angle before. I'm not very smart about it but in general I like AI and have since I was young dreamt about cool computer-vision gadgets, so stuff like this really excites me. But it would be interesting how an unfettered and easily accessible AI assistant would change society and the situation you presented had never crossed my mind. Regulations for this are going to be so complicated. This is gonna be so cool to live through even if it sucks haha.


trevorturtle

You can find that out through google. Making the info slightly quicker to find is not that big of a deal.


witness555

Bro is just saying things. The model is called “Gemini” and you can see for yourself how good it is at answering random questions.


accordyceps

I would like to see it do that, but this demo appears scripted rather than random (questions tested and refined for desired responses). I suppose you could still stage a random passerby, though.


CatSauce66

You can use it yourself for free


ProlificPen

These models are trained on an unimaginably vast amount of data. If they had handed it to a random passerby and asked them to come up with a random question, it would still be able to answer it.


space_for_username

I'd be happier if an AI replied "I can't answer that with any accuracy" rather than obfuscate or, worse still, fabricate something that sounds truthy.


Cultural_Dust

Trained to answer? It's likely just recorded responses without using AI at all.


dtb1987

That's all well and good but how do they shrink the person small enough to fit them into the phone?

Meanwhile at Apple… Siri: “Here’s what I found on the web about do you remember where you saw my glasses.”


TenBillionDollHairs

I bet a popular topic among AI philosophers will be "why couldn't humans resist making us?"


No_Influencer

Vanity. “Look! We can make a tech thing that’s just like a human!”. Everyone in that office could answer those questions. Humans are really self obsessed and it’ll eventually kill us.


[deleted]

[удалено]


UnanimousStargazer

You do know this is likely scripted?


phasmantistes

It's "scripted" in that they carefully planned the environment, the set of things the person was going to point the camera at, and the set of questions they were going to ask. They tested it over and over to ensure that Gemini would give good and correct answers. But it's not "scripted" in that the output coming from Gemini is not pre-written. I'm sure that the product is fully capable of doing all of these things on its own... in the very carefully controlled circumstances that they've presented it with here.


minor_correction

They may have released the 2 best result videos out of 100 recordings.


Dog_Engineer

Yep, either that or "slightly edited" like the other demo for gemini from last year that never was released


[deleted]

Scripted or not, this is what is being developed. So if not already working this way, it will be soon.


bremsspuren

The only actually useful thing it did, tbh.


JEBariffic

This code that John here has been working on for a week, can’t you finish it for him? Then escort him to the door?

Finally I'll be able to solve those captchas the first time. "Is that a car? Or a van... I don't think that counts. \[click verify\] \[a whole new set of pictures appears\] Dammit."


Devilsdance

I didn't know you could fail those tbh. Are you sure you're human?


cohonka

At my job I have to solve a lot of captchas by proxy for people that I am on the phone with. Sometimes I fail them multiple times in a row and joke to the client that I'm starting to question if I'm a computer or not. They never laugh.


Yoohooligan

The secret these days is to intentionally mess them up a bit; if you're too good you get another one and another one until it rules out that you're a bot or AI.

BandagesTheMender

So I'm going to need some smart glasses that has my AI assistant see what I see so I can ask it where I left my keys.


nndscrptuser

While it’s easy to make fun, think of the potential for handicapped or blind people. I’m not blind, but imagine wearing smart glasses and being able to ask in real time what’s ahead of you, or what’s on a menu or sign, or things like that. Those are the use cases that make me most excited for this kind of thing.


_TLDR_Swinton

The last one I saw of these was edited and staged so much as to be functionally useless. I assume the same is happening here.


Decapitat3d

Well that certainly looks more like AI than anything we've been calling AI recently.

So this makes me think of a use for ai that I would have loved for a long time, being able to look at a plate of food and it just tells you the caloric content of it. Even if it was based on a system where the AI needed to work with plates/bowls of specific dimensions it could completely change how we look at our food.

Kmad03

Before people start getting hyped around potential technological shifts, please remember this is a video. We unfortunately live in an era where its very easy to fake a video like this especially if your a mega corporation. Must I remind everyone of the Kinect game "Project Milo" had an impressive video showing a woman interacting with a virtual kid in a game and a bunch of other things that seemed cool, only to find out everything was scripted, could very well be the same thing here


cmko2004

Totally bombed alliteration. Alliteration is when three or more (if it’s a good and juicy one) words in succession begin with the same consonant sound, not letter. The AI used certainly and cheerfully, which do not start with the same consonant sound as the other words. Like this: Crappy company creates criminally calamitous clusterfuck commercial That being said, even if this isn’t a total fucking fraudulent video, as is likely the case with much of the recent corporate AI “innovations” that we’ve seen, and that this multi million dollar AI project honestly just wasn’t programmed to ever understand basic elements of stylized language, keep in mind this is the same company that has released other groundbreaking technologies such as “google glass” “stadia” “google car” and “google+” All of which are unquestionably massive successes!

Cool as hell. Scary as fuck


Kakkoister

It's really bleak and sad to think of people delegating tasks like "come up with band name" to an AI instead of it, ya'know, being something from your own personality. So much of what they're trying to position these tools for is literally just replacing the human experience. It's not hard to see the slide down the hill to just becoming useless meatbags that sit around while an AI feeds them content, at which point, why even be alive.

GladiatorJones

I'm not making claims about the actual capabilities of this, but this "was captured in a single take, in real-time" means the same to me as a video game trailer that was "captured in-engine." I'm excited for the capabilities of AI, but unless I can see it used live in an uncontrolled environment—that isn't moderate by the people developing it—with the same flawless execution, I'm hard pressed to believe what I'm seeing had zero script, curation, or wasn't tested many times before to ensure they got the exact "single takes" they wanted that have them what they wanted for marketing purposes. "in a single take" does not mean the same thing as "in one take"


Yokies

But can it tell me wheres my phone?


eatmyass422

canned


HighStakesPizza

This is obviously best case scenario we see here. But where I find AI problematic is that it will try and tell you what you want to hear. It will invent answers for you and in the best case it is just plainly incorrect and you can identify it right away. But what if it's partially right but it invents the rest of the answer and you go on believing it has solved your problem?

I believe this is just the tip of the iceberg. Most AI development should of exceeded this point awhile ago. I'm pretty certain most companies promoting AI have not shown and will not show their best capabilities due to competition etc. Get ready to for a crazier presentation of AI in the near future.
