Google has fallen so far. Both Inception and Mobilenet were released openly and changed the entire AI world.

Nowadays we just get blog posts about results that were supposedly achieved, an accompanying paper that can’t be reproduced (because of Google’s magical “private datasets”), and some screencaps of a cool application of the tech that is virtually guaranteed to never make it to product.

Probably because the actual product is garbage.

Remember the Google assistant demo, where it booked a table at a restaurant?

That never materialized. Google assistant is just eating crayons today.

It did work, I used it myself. A quick search shows others who had my experience. This was late 2019 for me. Here's the first link and the Google post on rolling out in summer 2019:

"Google Assistant just made a dinner reservation for me... I knew this was coming... but mind blown!" https://www.reddit.com/r/googlehome/comments/ezv3us/google_a...

"Now, you can use it on all Pixel phones in 43 U.S. states.

All it takes is a few seconds to tell your Assistant where you'd like to go. Just ask the Assistant on your phone, “Book a table for four people at [restaurant name] tomorrow night.” The Assistant will then call the restaurant to see if it can accommodate your request. Once your reservation is successfully made, you’ll receive a notification on your phone, an email update and a calendar invite so you don’t forget."
