Google’s AI-powered search experience is way too slow - The Verge
Google’s AI-powered search experience is way too slow - The Verge

Google has introduced an experimental feature called Search Generative Experience (SGE) that uses AI to summarize search results, aiming to make search queries more complex and conversational. SGE is currently only available to people who sign up for Google’s waitlist on its Search Labs, where AI summaries appear right under the search box. The author of the article found the SGE responses generally accurate but cluttered with extra information, such as source information displayed as cards and potential follow-up prompts. The author criticized the SGE feature for its slow loading times, with some search results taking up to six seconds to load, which he found frustrating compared to the instant results of traditional Google Search. The SGE feature also returned error messages for some of the top-searched terms, such as "YouTube," "Amazon," "Wordle," "Twitter," and "Roblox," stating that an AI-powered overview was not available for these searches.

First of all, I think that there are just too many letters. Generally, I’ve never signed any of these petitions. I always tend to be a bit more careful when I sign my name on something. I don’t know why people are just signing their names so lightly.
Lindsey Graham pointed out the military use of AI. That is actually happening now. But Sam Altman couldn’t even give a single proposal on how the immediate military use of AI should be regulated. At the same time, AI has a potential to optimize healthcare so that we can implement a better, more equitable healthcare system, but none of that was actually discussed.
But now the hero scientist narrative has come back in. There’s a reason why in these letters, they always put Geoff and Yoshua at the top. I think this is actually harmful in a way that I never thought about.
’m not a fan of Effective Altruism (EA) in general. And I am very aware of the fact that the EA movement is the one that is actually driving the whole thing around AGI and existential risk. I think there are too many people in Silicon Valley with this kind of savior complex. They all want to save us from the inevitable doom that only they see and they think only they can solve.

All the Hard Stuff Nobody Talks About when Building Products with LLMs | Honeycomb
Commercial LLMs like gpt-3.5-turbo and Claude are the best models to use for us right now. Nothing in the open source world comes close. However, this only means they’re the best of available options. They can take many seconds to produce a valid Honeycomb query, with latency ranging from two to 15+ seconds depending on the model, natural language input, size of the schema, makeup of the schema, and instructions in the prompt. As of this writing, although we have access to gpt-4’s API, it’s far too slow to work for our use case.
