I dont agree wih your take. This is literally innovation. These are new features. Your take on generative ai is similar to previous generations who feared technological innovations and change. Otherwise known as TECHNOPHOBIA.
It does - plus it’s actually obvious too you can see the cut out. It’s just a gimmick - also there is a 5 min timer so can’t use it later to recreate fake scenes
You cannot be serious about the Google photo thing 🤦🏽 Also, unless you take the second photo from the same place and angle... it's going to look even more edited than it already does
I find myself disagreeing more and more with Bridget's views on Generative AI. I find it disappointing that her perspective is so limited. Expressiveness is part of human communication. Adding expressiveness to AI can potentially make it better at "getting to the point" by adding another layer to its message. Similarly, robots in the future will need to use body language to further improve their communication skills. This also massively increases the potential of generative AI in the realms of video games, therapy, and learning environments. If Bridget wants a robotic personal assistant, it can be accomplished by changing the system prompt. But there is no need to bash them for creating and using an incredible feature.
@@ChasingState I think the problem is she’s viewing things from the lens of “Oh, I’m a Mum, I don’t want my kids to have this” but that unfortunately lends itself to tunnel vision to possible benefits of a life-like AI to talk to. People who do not feel comfortable to talk about issues plaguing them, the elderly who are lonely etc. Of course there are root issues to be solved with some of those but unless we can snap our fingers at solving them, this technology is an amazing alternative.
At least this one didn’t offer a celebrity to do the voice, get turned down, and hire a sound alike and not pay the celebrity to basically make everyone think it’s their voice ….
It's super weird that the AI tries to act like it's human, and people don't need to have misinformation tools. She's right. Why are comments saying these are good things?
Because Gemini live isn't just used for assistant tasks but also for things like reading stories, practicing languages etc. And for those aspects sounding human is a benefit. It would be cool to have a dial though. And the photo thingy is very limited. You essentially need to make both fotos in the exact same place. It's made for situations where there is no tripod, so the cameraman can still be added to the group foto.
The first part I agree with, but not the second part. Adding someone in is fine. Maybe I want a deceased family member in a photo or someone was there , but wasn’t able to get in the photo properly.
Interesting take. While using Bard (precursor to Gemini) I got the same notion it was presenting itself somewhat like a 'humanized Ai'. Maybe Google engineers coding it have an 'emotive' Ai as their subconscious, ideal or expected basis of it from many movies and tv shows across recent years, if you've watched the movie Her and Ex Machina you get what I mean.
Before Bard there was lambda. A Google engineer said at the time the chatbot was sentient. Nobody believed him now we see that thing may have a conscience. But Google made sure to make it non-sentient cos people will freak out. Gemini is just a watered down version, HIGHLY bridled AI than its predecessors.
Good grief. This is one of the worst examples of ‘reaching’. I am not a Google fanboy, but even I have to admit that it is hard to fault what Google has given us via the Pixel 9 series.
The funny thing is OpenAI demo the same tech(Advanced voice mode), and from the looks of it, even more humanlike, and they were praised for being soo innovative. Google did it and now it's evil.. 🤦 let's stop the favoritism and just appreciate the innovation. Tech like this can help make life a lot easier same day. A little bit of positivity won't hurt 🤷
You give props to Google Pixel's event for doing live demos yet you speak so negatively without showing your viewers your demo. At least show us your immersive experience with it before taking shots at it.
It's possible to be both a parent *and* someone into tech advancement. :) She might be overstating the potential abuse that can happen with Add Me, but I think it's at least worth thinking about. If you can take a picture of someone, and then add yourself to the picture, in the wrong hands, that has the potential to create embarrassing fake images.
