Speaker 2 (00:18):
For so much tech news lately.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
One of the biggest that we got from Google yesterday
in the world, and we mentioned it today in three
Things to Know Today, is that Google's search is now
really married with AI in bigger ways than we've ever
seen before. And you know, from that world, that tech world,
it can get very like you start reading it in
your head will start to hurt. But it's apparently will
(00:43):
change everything. You think Google is special now, or any
search engine that you use is special now, it's definitely
going to be more special. And what that means is
to me more in depth. So one of the things
I was reading about, and if you go to Google
today you can literally underneath it click on the full
announcement yesterday and all the breakdown of what it means
(01:04):
and all this Gemini stuff. Yeah, but it means that
instead of if you're traveling and you are looking for
a good sit down restaurant for twenty people that you're
with for an anniversary party, you can type in anniversary party,
you know, good spots for anniversary party in Dallas ten people,
and you get specific results and you don't just get
(01:26):
a write up. You know you can get you can
plan it right there and walking directions or ten miles
from me and things like that. It's just more in
depth because AI and all of your patterns and all
that it knows about the area you're in come into
play with your answer.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
Yeah, it's really impressive. Like the way it's going to
do what I read anyway about searching your Gmail for example,
you know, and it's and by the way, they when
you read the article, you'll see that privacy is like
the big thing. They understand that the things that it's
searching about you that it's you know, using in context,
it's not sharing those outwardly with the AI model. It's
(02:04):
the model is just looking at you and the outside world,
combining both of them together. So you can search your
email for a specific invoice, for example, or a specific
receipt you have, or if if you want to schedule
a UPS delivery for something tied. It's it's like Jody said,
it's not just about pulling up the UPS website. It's
(02:26):
actually going to take into consideration all of the things
you know that like it may even know what it
is that you want to ship. For example, in the
AI can do that. It's crazy, mind blowing deep stuff.
And the summaries are really the things that are just amazing.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
Mela, Oh wait, what have I missed? Then help me
with the summary.
Speaker 4 (02:45):
It'll give you like a two or three line paragraph
to help you decide, Okay, is this what I'm looking
for or not? I want to be deeper.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
Well, you're really going to help us or is it
going to alter the way we think.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
We're not going to have to think as much.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
It will help if you the summaries that I was
talking about was like if you had a series of
emails over a period of time, summarize for me the
emails from such and such over the past month, and
that's the kind of stuff that it will you know,
it will do fantastic.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
Seen I've seen this at some of the kids, and
I don't know if high schools are allowing this, but
in college and the big auditoriums. You got your laptop
there and you can set up with co pilot or
one of those. Yeah, and you don't even have to
take notes anymore.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
It'll take notes for you, yeah, at a meeting at works.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
Well, and then it can summarize them for you too.
That's what's crazy about it. It can take a long
form conversation which it's recording, and then summarize what the
takeaways or whatever, the biggest points, the most important points.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
It's that's it's a delicate place of being amazed with
it and being a little scared of it.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Honestly, for that.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
In the classroom, I would probably use it as a
backup because I think it's been proven that if you're writing,
you're getting it. You're getting it.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
There's a mental connection.
Speaker 4 (03:59):
Yeah. If I just let leave it and let it listen,
and when I get finished, I take it back to
the dorm and start reading it, It's like all I'm
doing is reading and reading. I didn't actually participate in
writing it out, so it's sunk into my head or
writing it in a way that I understand better.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
It's weird.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Whenever I've taken just manual meeting notes typing them out myself.
I still don't remember those as much as I would
by handwriting. It's it is weird that that connection there,
and I don't know how to bridge that gap. But
you know, again, we've got so much information, though I
think you reach a place where you can't commit it
all to memory anyway, So making it searchable easily and
(04:35):
you know, being able to pull things back, you know,
are key. But it's it's almost to me like this
kind of AI is like going through just a garbage
mess of collected information from folders to things you've saved,
to your email to everything, which is can be a
colossal mess to organize, and then it just somehow simplifies
(04:55):
and pulls it together based on whatever question that you're
asking it. You know it it's like search two point zero,
which I guess is maybe that's what they That's what
Jim and I really is.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
That I'm I'm excited for the things that it can
really help us make our lives easier. And I don't
just mean the basics of turning your lights off for
you at home and things like that. The sort of
AI that we're already playing with. I'm talking about in
the medical world when you think about, you know, doctors
help it, helping them diet, helping them diagnose. They still
(05:26):
have their mind on it based on what they're seeing.
But the help with the extra info that that that
AI has stored away that can help you pinpoint a
problem like that can save and improve lives. That's exciting.
That kind of stuff. The other stuff that's kind of cool,
especially if you struggle with organization or you're overscheduled, or
(05:47):
you're trying to run a small business on you know,
with one person or something like that. The fact that
their goal. That's what chat GPT said on Monday. So
Google's big announcement was Tuesday, and theirs was an AI thing,
and the chat GP to chat GPT thing AI was
insane too.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
It's crazy.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
No, it's like people holding up their phone. Oh yes,
and it's a video and it's like, okay, tell me,
tell me everything that makes a noise in this video
and they pan across and it does. It goes that's
a speaker on the computer that makes noise, right, And
it's like that kind of stuff.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
The chatt seems so human.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
All it's not without glitches, but it seems so human
there's no delay, you know, the kind of the kind
of AI we're rocking at home with the smarts, the
smart speakers, and the delay that's going to go away,
and it's going to blow your mind.
Speaker 4 (06:37):
I thought Alexa was nice and fast, and now it's
going to be slow, right right.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
But the reason I say those two, those two chat
GBT and then Google in these last two days with
these big announcements trying to beat each other to the
punch so that we're all talking about them.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
The whole point is.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
Can these things become because that's their goal, better personal
assistance for us, for our lives, and it seems like
it can. It seems like it's really on the way,
like exciting times as long as you know there's no
privacy issues where you don't you know, you feel okay
about it the.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Other part of it, and then we don't think about this.
It's the same way we don't think about electricity coming
to our house, you know what I mean. We notice
it when it's not there, but we don't think about
everything that's going into you know, producing it and getting
it to us. And you know the back end of this.
They talked about how they have to use these unbelievable
supercomputers that process It's this AI does come at a
(07:37):
technical price. Because it's all in the cloud. We're not
having to thank goodness, we're not having to invest in
that ourselves. We don't have to buy a faster computer
to have access to this down Moodel program, right. But
it you know, it's it's an unbelievable amount of computing
power that it takes to do that. You think about
how many Google users there are and all of these
questions being asked at the same time, and these are
(08:00):
the intense complex, you know, processes that burn a lot
of electricity and create a lot of heat and all
that kind of stuff too, and require supercomputers to do so.
The only other thing that scares me as much as
the collection of the information is if it goes down.
If what happens when it goes the wrong cyber attacks
in the wrong place, and we've become so dependent upon
(08:21):
it that, you know what I mean, all of a
sudden it goes away.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
That becomes the new scary movie, the new scary scenario.
Speaker 4 (08:31):
The one thing I'm thinking of, too is how is
it going to make us dumber?
Speaker 3 (08:36):
That's what I was thinking because we're not going to
have to think as much. It's kind of like we
don't google maps. Just in having ways and maps has
made us less aware of our surroundings almost yea, you know,
less directionally bound.
Speaker 4 (08:52):
I mean like when you're doing a paper in school,
you know, you used to have to put in some
work on leg work, and I know, computers eliminate that.
Can still do a lot of research on the computer,
whereas here all you got to do is, hey, I'm
writing a paper on the red Badge of courage. Give
me some ideas, right, you didn't have to do anything.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
And how many are teachers going to be able to
decipher that anymore? You know, what's what's how you how
you received that information?
Speaker 4 (09:20):
Hey, now there's an idea for a new, a new
industry AI detectors for teach real.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Yeah, well, and I think a lot of that actually
does exist right now that they there's a pattern that
you know, they can see. Yeah, so the schools are
they're on that, just like you've got proctors and you know,
whether it's a virtual exam that you're taking or in
person you know exam, those kinds of things you know
do exist. They're probably just going to have to continue
(09:45):
to develop more as the AI gets smarter and it
becomes harder to detect that. I suppose one.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
Of the Google things that I thought was interesting because
what when it comes to Google AI, I'm most interested
in the search part of it, not the not all
the other stuff that they're they're dropping so much on
us right now, it's it's too much to comprehend. But
the search thing is interesting because I this is what
I'm excited about. How specific you can be. You know,
when you're a person like me, a mom, I'm a planner.
(10:14):
I plan planning a graduation party this weekend, like, you
need to be specific about things. One of their examples was,
here's what we mean by AI helping in the search
improve the search, and it was like, name yoga and
pilate studios in Boston that specialize in this.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
That's that are ten miles from this.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
You could write that in and you get the answer,
and then you also get here, here's how much it costs,
and here's the map to it right now, or here's
the it's You can be so specific that you it
saves you time.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
I suppose if you're trying to do something.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
That's so true, because so many results come back at you,
even though they're mostly related to what you've asked for,
you still have to we through and make sure that
it's not like somebody's random Reddit post that is not
a fact or you know what I mean, those kinds
of things. It's all those tools right now that actually
do show up on Google. I guess it will take
account into account all those preferences of yours.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
Yeah, I mean think about.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
It, like, you know, you're planning a party in our house,
and I don't know how it would actually how the
a I would know this, But at some point it
will know that I don't like cilantro, so it's not
going to return any results that have a recipe that
has cilantro.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
In it, or the how closely tied we're married, so
how closely It'll take them a while to get that,
but then it would know. Yeah, because I'm with you
with all the anti cilantra stuff. Yeah, it'll be funny
to watch it on, you know, unfold slowly but surely.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
But I do get excited about each generation and evolution
of it. I think it's really sure. It's cool.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
Is there one thing that you're most looking forward to
at AI being able to do in your lifetime.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
Murphy, I think the assistance part pulling everything together for me,
because to me, the one problem still remains is there's Microsoft,
there's Google. You have a million different apps that you know,
from different companies that are all competing against each other.
But you don't have any one thing that necessarily ties
it together unless you tie it together with these automation services,
(12:20):
of which there are a bunch of those that compete
against each other also, so you have so many different
options and there's no way to tie it together. That
to me is what makes organization messy for me, because
it all needs to be synchronized. There are some things
that I like Microsoft for, there's some things that I
like Google for. And you know, in the workplace, when
you're a Microsoft based company and you still have Google,
(12:43):
you're still going multiple places for things, and there needs
to be a secure way to tie all that together
so that you're not having to because for example, I
don't I mean when it comes to like, you know,
to do list management, I don't like Microsoft's to do feature.
I don't. I think it's very plain, it doesn't offer
a lot. You can't tie it to many things, and
you almost have to use Microsoft Outlook and all those
(13:06):
things for it to be you know compatible. To do
US is my favorite. It's more universal, it's very easy
and you know, to synchronize with other things. But there
are limitations placed on that because if your company won't
approve the use of to do is to integrate, you
get locked out Alexa. In our company, you can't tie
your Alexa back to your you know, Office three sixty
(13:26):
five account because it's a security issue.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
So struggle with it. You would like you would like
want it all to come together.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
Then I want to be able to have the choice
of service and or services that I want to use.
And just like I don't use one tool for everything
in my life, I want the ability for those tools
to integrate in a way where they play nicely with
each other, but they're not a security breach. And you know,
but I don't know that you'll ever get past the
competitive part Microsoft and they you know, so I don't.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
Yeah, I want I want the medical I want it
to somehow benefit my life in that way. I want
to feel safer because of it. I want to feel
safer when I'm in the car on an airplane, in
the doctor's hands. If AI is coming to play and
there's no there's no getting away from it, then improve
my life and that and make me feel safer, even
(14:18):
just with regards to crime, even or you know, there's
so much that it can do other than just help
us find a place to eat on a Friday night.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
Say if that is handy, it is handy. What about you?
Speaker 4 (14:29):
I don't know yet, know I don't I don't know yet.
I have to answer in action to know, like, oh,
you know I could use this for or Oh it's.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
Gonna happen to you and you're gonna be like wow.
Start playing with it today, guys, you can start playing now.
