I never upvote any Google's A.I. research articles as most of the time it is: look what we have done, but we will never release anything.

OpenAi gets a lot of criticism for being closed, but at least I can play with their api most of the time.

What's the point of this if we will never be able to use this?

Corporate AND personal marketing.

AI researchers can make any claim, the risk of getting busted is close to none.

Didn't work ? Well dataset was different

Didn't work ? Well code was different

Can I try your work ? Well it's proprietary / I don't have access / We shutdowned the cluster

But the result is guaranteed increase in salary and job opportunities.

Since these companies are publicly listed, they are by definition encouraged and encouraging to make grandiose claims in order to make themselves more attractive to investors, and they can blame the individuals if it becomes discovered.

My favorite being that Bard (PaLM version) is sentient, but it was too big this time.

Imagine a large pharmaceutical company claiming they can cure very important diseases, but the results cannot be independently verified, nor audited.

It’s ok in the short-term, but not when you make that claim during few years.

The point is probably the implication that it'll be pushed to android as a native feature (in the photos app or similar), thus it making sense for investors reading this to put money into google rather than e.g. stability or openai etc. The people writing the article are likely shareholders etc.

Dreambooth was kinda great?

That said, I agree that I wish there were more done post-research towards products with some of this stuff.
