integrating AI into Google\u2019s Assistant even once. In fact, Google didn\u2019t showcase ANY upgrades to their Assistant, proving one thing \u2013 Sundar Pichai is Google\u2019s least innovative CEO and leader ever. Sure, these are entirely my opinions, but I\u2019ve got hard facts to back them.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Not_improving_Google_Assistant_by_integrating_AI_was_a_MASSIVE_missed_opportunity\"><\/span>Not improving Google Assistant by integrating AI was a MASSIVE missed opportunity<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Back in 2018, Google unveiled Duplex, arguably the first ever impressively-human AI voice assistant that could fool people into believing it was real. Like almost all of Google\u2019s pet projects, Duplex was shuttered following the slightest backlash, and Google now doesn\u2019t even mention its existence while talking about Bard. However, we now need Duplex more than ever\u2026 With Google\u2019s AI now being powerful enough to write entire emails within Gmail, having a voice-powered AI that\u2019s as powerful as Bard would be a complete <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a>-changer.

In July last year, Senior VP Prabhakar Raghavan ominously pointed out that youngsters were using Google Maps less and less to explore places. \u201cIn our studies, something like almost 40% of young people, when they\u2019re looking for a place for lunch, they don\u2019t go to Google Maps or Search,\u201d Raghavan said. \u201cThey go to TikTok or Instagram.\u201d Google got yet another violent jolt when OpenAI rolled out ChatGPT in November last year, with Sundar Pichai calling Google co-founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page back to the company as an \u2018existential emergency move\u2019. To make things worse, Microsoft made a major power move by pouring $10 billion into OpenAI and reviving their Bing search engine with new AI-powered chops. Suddenly, Bing managed to hit 100 million daily active users within a matter of weeks. \u201cI want people to know we made them dance,\u201d mentioned Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, referring to Bing Chat\u2019s David-versus-Goliath moment.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Googles_AI_boost_at_IO_2023_felt_like_overcompensation_but_not_necessarily_in_a_bad_way\"><\/span>Google\u2019s AI boost at I\/O 2023 felt like overcompensation (but not necessarily in a bad way)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>It seems like Bing Chat really lit a fire under Google\u2019s behind, giving it that push it needed to really make AI more ubiquitous. A strong opposition is the key to a healthy democracy and a strong competitor is the key to great innovation\u2026 although it seems like Google was sitting on innovation all along, given that they\u2019ve had these AI models for a while now. Google unveiled Duplex in 2018, and LaMDA in 2020, but it only took up until now for Google to really push out AI tools to users. These were all small-time garage projects up until ChatGPT pushed Google out of its comfort zone. It\u2019s almost like Google had all the AI advancements, but had no idea where to put them until ChatGPT rolled out.

The website has listed as many as 285 of Google\u2019s products\/services that the company just decided to pull the plug on \u2013 some of which were still being heavily used by people (I still use Picasa to this day, no lie). Google operates on what they call a 20% rule, where employees are encouraged to spend 20% of their overall office time on their own side projects. This culture resulted in some of Google\u2019s biggest hits, like Gmail, AdSense, and Google <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">News<\/a>\u2026 but remember Inbox?

Aside from its core money-making businesses, Search, Gmail, Drive, AdSense, Photos, YouTube, and a few of its cloud\/enterprise services, everything is potentially \u2018cancellable\u2019. Amazon just recently reported that Alexa was a loss-making business to the tune of $10 billion EACH YEAR, so it\u2019s pretty conceivable that Google resigns its Assistant to a similar fate. However, it\u2019s also possible that some young, ruthless startup can light a fire under Google once again, forcing it to come running back to the battlefield with a new and improved Assistant. After all, not many people know this, but Siri was, in fact, a young independent startup that <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">App<\/a>le acquired more than a decade ago.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Google_Assistant_is_still_way_ahead_of_Siri_hinting_at_MAJOR_complacency\"><\/span>Google Assistant is still way ahead of Siri, hinting at MAJOR complacency<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Speaking of Siri, it\u2019s been over a decade since the announcement of the iPhone 4S\u2026 and truth be told, Siri hasn\u2019t majorly improved in those 10 years. It still fumbles in places where Google\u2019s own Assistant shines, but don\u2019t mistake that for praise for Google Assistant. It routinely messes up or misbehaves, but not as much as Siri. In fact, many iPhone users found Siri so useless they devised a way to make ChatGPT their default assistant on the phone, with some even creating a ChatGPT shortcut to efficiently control their smart home. This may be a serious indictment of Siri\u2019s abilities, but\u2019s also one of Google\u2019s own Assistant. It seems like Google needs a worthy competitor to be motivated to innovate. Bing did that with Google Search\u2026 and I can\u2019t help but think that Google will only upgrade their assistant when Siri drastically improves, or if there\u2019s a much more capable new competitor on the field.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_435749\" style=\"width: 1290px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-435749\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-435749\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/05\/google-didnt-talk-about-this-even-once-while-discussing-ai-during-their-i-o-2023-event\/google_io_assistant_4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"994\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2023\/05\/16\/google-didnt-talk-about-this-even-once-while-discussing-ai-during-their-i-o-2023-event\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Google didn\u2019t talk about THIS even ONCE while discussing AI during their I\/O 2023 event\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/05\/google-didnt-talk-about-this-even-once-while-discussing-ai-during-their-i-o-2023-event\/google_io_assistant_4.jpg\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-435749\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload size-full wp-image-435749\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/05\/google-didnt-talk-about-this-even-once-while-discussing-ai-during-their-i-o-2023-event\/google_io_assistant_4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"994\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2023\/05\/16\/google-didnt-talk-about-this-even-once-while-discussing-ai-during-their-i-o-2023-event\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Google didn\u2019t talk about THIS even ONCE while discussing AI during their I\/O 2023 event\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/05\/google-didnt-talk-about-this-even-once-while-discussing-ai-during-their-i-o-2023-event\/google_io_assistant_4.jpg\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-4\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<amp-ad width=\"100vw\" height=\"320\" type=\"adsense\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0648786275385337\" data-ad-slot=\"1017606968\" data-auto-format=\"rspv\" data-full-width=\"\"><\/p>\n<div overflow=\"\"><\/div>\n<p><\/amp-ad><\/div>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-2\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 4px; margin: 18px auto 20px; text-align:center;\"><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\" type=\"6447360df8e47bf6d0a93a23-text\/javascript\"><\/script><br \/>\n<script type=\"6447360df8e47bf6d0a93a23-text\/javascript\">\n<\/script><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-435749\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Goomics #377 by Manu Cornet<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"AI-powered_Google_Assistant_could_have_really_been_a_part_of_Sundars_legacy\"><\/span>AI-powered Google Assistant could have really been a part of Sundar\u2019s legacy<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>What did Tim Cook do for Apple?

It laid off 6% of its entire workforce in early 2023 (more than 12,000 people), and even though the optics of that looked bad as it is, Sundar Pichai also cut himself a pretty sweet $226 million paycheck in 2022. The point I\u2019m trying to make here is that it\u2019s difficult to think of Pichai as a true innovator because it doesn\u2019t outwardly seem so. At least not two hundred and twenty-six million dollars worth\u2026<\/p>\n<p>However, things could have been different. Instead of Google playing catch-up to OpenAI and other LLMs, Sundar could have doubled down by outdoing them. A conversational AI like Duplex could have really made I\/O 2023 much more magical. Sure, you can still talk to Google\u2019s Assistant, but you can\u2019t get it to work across services and data sets the way you can with Bard. For now, Bard is still heavily text-input-based, and one can just hope that there will be some changes in the coming months and years.
