    After it was supposedly updated to support helping with code, I asked bard about how to access password protected zips in Go and it made up libraries and gave me a very simple non-functioning example. When asked to describe Octopath Traveler 2, it invented a new main character and setting that isn’t in the game or its predecessor or the mobile game. I don’t have a lot of faith that Gemini will be better.

        It’s geographically restricted. I had to choose VPN servers in the US to be able to use it, otherwise bard would only load a useless landing page.

    They still call Google a search company here… So weird. It’s an ad company.

    Took em long enough.

    I wonder if they used ChatGPT to create any of the training data.

      The transformer architecture GPT is based on came from Google. I’m sure the delay has more to do with Google trying to mitigate liability issues that arise with large scale general public usage, and letting OpenAI “test the waters” first.

        Quite possible. Whatever the case, they apparently saw no pressure to innovate. It implies that tech development is being slowed down by the Big Tech monopolies.

            It just seems that Google should have been able to move faster. Yes, they did publish a lot of important stuff, but seeing the splash that came from Stability and OpenAI, they seem to have done so little with it. What their researchers published was important but I can’t help thinking, that a public university would have disseminated such research more openly and widely. Well, I may be wrong. I don’t have inside knowledge.

      Not likely. They may have tested it as an adversarial feedback tool, but it would be much more accurate and efficient to get the source data rather than paying OpenAI for maybe correct information.

      They did, I believe, trick ChatGPT into exposing some of its source data though, but it was only a few hundred MB’s.

        For the fine-tuning stage at the end, where you turn it into a chatbot, you need specific training data (eg OpenOrca). People have used ChatGPT to generate such data. Come to think of it, if you use Mechanical Turk, then you almost certainly include text from ChatGPT.

          Yes it could be done that way, and maybe GPT models were used, but calling these API’s isn’t free and there are plenty of open and surely internal models that could be used for that purpose.
