#GoogleIO will once again have a paired-down audience. It's only one day, not three. IIRC this is the first time since the pandemic Google has brought in live audience made up of non-Googlers?
Musician Dan Deacon using Google's MusiLM, Phenaki and Bard AI tools to entertain the #GoogleIO crowd pre-keynote. The images behind him were generated using AI.
First up is talking about generative #AI with Gmail —Pichai is recapping smart replies, smart compose.
Introducing "help me write": AI can read your email and produce replies. EG if your flight is canceled, "Help me write" can create a message that could dramatically help get you a refund.
Pichai recaps immersive view being released. Now expanding tech to help you get where you want to go. 20 billion km of directions provided every day. Imagine if you can see your trip in advance.
Immersive View for routes gives you a birds-eye view of your trip, check the day's air quality, see traffic and weather later on.
Launching by end of the year in 15 cities including London, Tokyo, and SF.
Google Photos update next: We already have image removal and later this year using contextual understanding and generative AI, you'll have "Magic Editor"
Holy crap...Google is making Photos app a pseudo competitor to Lightroom and Photoshop.

Pichai talks about the combo of teams into Google DeepMinds, saying that the teams contributed to many breakthroughs in #AI that led to the "inflection point where we are today."
Goes on to talk about Gemini that's still in development.
Mentions AI responsibility — having tools to identify synthetic content where you encounter it, such as watermarking. Pichai says moving forward all content will include watermarking and other info. Also, talks about metadata included in AI images. #googleio
Google has reimagined its search results page thanks to #AI, powered by not only its Knowledge Graph but also its Images database and Shopping Graph. Perhaps this is compelling enough to make this appealing.
But how does this update impact SEO and organic search results? I wonder if Google will provide answers and insights to marketers and businesses who could see their traffic drop considerably.
Kurian introduces Duet AI for Google Cloud, serves as #AI expert for programming. Vertex uses Duet AI to provide developer assistance wherever you need it. Can help with auto completion, generate entire functions in real-time, can assist with code reviews/inspections.
Project Tailwind is still in early days. It was originally created for students but has a broader audience. Your notes could include citations pulling from your personal sources you allow the AI to read.
@thekenyeung that is not how I use search. google still doesn’t get what I want from a search engine. I very often want to see ALL the results that actually match what I’m looking for. I don’t want their best guess or their summary. I want actual multiple sets of useful, relevant results without filler and spam and SEO crap.
(For a search like shown I would want actual useful real reviews and up to date information about each park but I also don’t make such searches most of the time to start)
@thekenyeung for example if I search for a specific product (like an out of print book or collectible) I don’t want links to similar items nor do I only want the biggest retailers (and I definitely don’t want shopping results that show links with prices and availability that are false or are for different products entirely). Shopping search is hard (as inventory changes quickly) but Google’s is particularly bad with more than 50% of most results I see on most searches being inaccurate or useless
