Generative AI News 14 – Google Bard and Other IO Announcements, Bing Chat, The White House, Wendy’s, and More – Voicebot Podcast 322
The Generative AI News (GAIN) rundown for May 11, 2023, is here. Special guest and Google Developer Expert (GDE) Allen Firstenberg joined me to go in-depth on all the Google I/O stories. We discuss Bard, extensions, conversational search, the PaLM and Gemini models, and much more. We also review the “Google Has No [generative AI] Moat” memo.
That is followed by a discussion of Wendy’s adoption of Google PaLM for drive-thru order taking, Bing Chat going general availability worldwide, the White House’s efforts around AI, and a developer that created mini-Trip Advisor website targeting families with children with 2370 activities in 237 cities, 2,600 images, and nearly 250,000 words. He did this in two days and spent $53. The implications are significant.
I hope you enjoy the show. Don’t miss Allen’s commentary on these items in the video. Given his role as a GDE and independent ambassador for several Google technologies, he has particularly interesting insights into Google’s moves, lack of progress on many fronts, and unrecognized progress on others.
