Google is going to let us, ordinary people, talk to its advanced AI chatbot, LaMDA 2, while also giving us the opportunity to participate in other experimental technologies.
Google Demos "Gemini Live" AI Android Voice Chatbot
The search engine giant officially opened its AI Test Kitchen, which was announced in July. This is a space for Google to experiment with various AI-related technologies, and these innovations are moving beyond internal testing phases to the general public, including the infamous LaMDA 2 chatbot.
For the uninitiated, LaMDA (Language Model for Dialogue Applications) is an advanced AI-driven chatbot that made headlines when a Google engineer announced he had achieved sensitivity. Google has since rejected these ideas and fired the engineer in question.
In other words, the chatbot is probably not self-aware, even though it pretends to be. We can find out by signing up with Google for a personal conversation.
