The search giant is working on a project called the Linguistic Model for Dialogue Applications (LaMDA), which has so much potential that an engineer claims that AI can “sense”. Now accessible via beta.

Google has launched an English version of the app that allows users to interact with an artificial intelligence system that a company engineer says can be sensed. By the way, the engineer was fired shortly after.

And while this is a very limited test, with only three scenarios to choose from (what three are unpublished), the idea of business after Google Chrome knows how the Language Model for Dialog Applications (LaMDA) behaves with normal users.

Of course, they already explained that that application You won’t learn anything from interacting with users, for safety reasons: the last time an experiment went horribly wrong. Let’s remember it.

An artificial intelligence named Tay, which is owned by Microsoft, is quickly taught to swear and be offensive (especially racist) after chatting with users. After this, Microsoft had to make some adjustments. Therefore, Google does not want LaMDA to learn from its interactions with users.

By the way, as much as he could sense the engineer, the American company has always maintained that the technology used to power the chatbot has no independent thoughts or feelings.

How to use Google apps powered by LaMDA

User can download and login to AI Test Kitchen app with Google account, on Android and Apple devices, and sign up for a waiting list to play with them. And although there is a linkthe safest thing is that it seems to be disabled.

When it launched in the United States in August, Google claimed to have several thousand signups a day. We’ll have to see how it works in Europe, the expectations are very high and the future seems to be through this technology.

Chat boxes are used by millions of shops and services on the Internet, that’s why achieving a reliable model that offers customers valid information and solutions can be a huge Google business success for this decade. Because it’s clear that Stadia hasn’t.
