Google in Talks to Invest $200M into AI Startup

Google must really be desperate to up their chatbot game. I wonder why; what is the underlying motivation?

And why can't they do it in-house? Did the good ones already take off?

I'm hoping https://character.ai keeps shipping The Amaze, it's the most novel thing I've seen in a long while in the NLP space.

Not sure what the GV team is thinking... Cohere doesn't come close to a market leading product.

Invest all you want in software, but unless we get bio neural gel packs we’ll be limited to autocomplete, broken customer support bots and wannabe art ais.
