Google Assistant reportedly pivoting to generative AI
When Google had its unpleasant realization that it had been complacently spinning its wheels on a form of fake AI for a decade, chances are it started realigning itself that day. The email says that the Assistant team leads "see a huge opportunity to explore what a supercharged Assistant, powered by the latest LLM [large language model] technology, would look like," and describe some organizational changes to achieve that. Of course, you don't make sweeping changes to a successful division just because you want to see what something looks like.
