Yeah, I was expecting them to make the event entirely about Bard, search, and Lamda; they messed it up so badly! They don't even have citations yet. RIP Google.

I got a phone call half way through the Bard part and was bummed that I will miss the cool part. Then I came back 10 minutes later and they are showing singing blobs and how Google Maps will be like 1% more convenient to use. What a weird presentation.

I was being shown stuff that would have blown my mind ten years ago but the problem is that it isn't ten years ago.

What I was shown today by Google was some new stuff that was being integrated into their various products and some slight upgrades that looked cool but to be honest I was totally underwhelmed.

Also why did they barely spend any time on their ChatGPT clone Bard?

Google fumbled the ball today.

MS offer is pretty underwhelming atm. I'm not switching to Edge yet (might use it once in a while though).

This wasn't just a flop. This was a belly flop. Talk about tepid. OpenAI and ChatGPT is all about what this technology can enable for every person. Google just wants to try to show off how clever they think they are with the ways they are using AI. I didn't see anything that wowed me. I can't believe I'm going to start using Bing...

I'm sorry I don't understand. Did you not see the singing blobs Google showcased today? Does Microsoft have singing colorful blobs? No they don't. Boom. Game over. Google wins. Fatality.

I predicted this 4 days ago on this subreddit and got down voted to heck. Google's messaging ahead of this was " we built the transformer" , like okay but why does that matter? This space is moving at ungodly speed even a model 2-3 years old is likely outdated to the point of obsolescence.

Makes sense why Google’s been repeatedly quoted calling for AI regulation. People say they’re industry leaders in AI. That may be true, but it potentially may be their downfall as well.

They’ve clearly been pushing AI technology forward in a lot of different areas, but has this spread them too thin? It’s seeming like they may have missed what OpenAI and Microsoft spotted in the delivery and value of LLMs to end-users.

Interesting times ahead for sure.

I think Google underestimated the competition. They prob thought that since they couldn't release a perfect chatbot that others were well behind. Well OpenAI caught them with their pants down and Microsoft was quick to cement the advantage.

Google is good at innovating but terrible at delivering consumer products. MS is decent at delivering consumer products but terrible at innovating. Well they out sourced the innovation this time

Google needs to do some layoffs.

I'm underwhelmed by Google in general. For me, their search works worse than it did in 2016. I literally can't see the search results there were in 2016, even though I know they are online, because I have saved links to some of them. Very disappointed. 2023 doesn't feel like 2023, more like 2015 or so.
