According to a recent article in the New York Times, Google is working with the DeepMind research lab and the Brain AI team to make an AI-powered life guide that can answer questions with an emotional coefficient.
Say goodbye to those flashy life coaches and their flashy Instagram ads. Google is making a new life coach for you, and even though it won’t be as flashy as the others, it will still be a good help.
Google Developing AI For Life Advice
Google plans to use its big language AI model, “Bard,” in 21 different products or ways. One of these is to make an AI-powered life coach that gives people good advice on how to live their lives.
In a report on the topic, the New York Times says that Google has worked with the DeepMind research lab and the Brain AI team to develop this AI-powered life coach to the point where it can respond to important questions with an emotional coefficient, making its advice sound more human.
Both Google’s Bard AI and OpenAI’s ChatGPT can answer questions in a way that sounds like a person. However, they both have problems and can sometimes have “AI hallucinations” that cause them to give wrong answers or even facts that aren’t true.
Google is also looking into other ways to use Bard AI, such as a tool that can create scientific and creative material and a feature that will help journalists write headlines that get people’s attention.
These tools being looked into now will have a lot of uses and might get a good response when they come out, but they will affect workers as generative AI keeps moving toward automation.
Google, which is said to be behind Microsoft in the race toward generative AI, is surely catching up by working on real-world AI apps and trying to get them out as soon as possible. On the other hand, Microsoft is not slowing down, and the company is currently very confident about putting AI into its products. They even plan to add a picture generator to MS Paint!
