Google Wants You to Talk to LaMDA! Big Tech is All up for AI chatbots

Google and Meta AI chatbots have unveiled they are asking the public to give feedback.

Google unveiled AI Test Kitchen an Android app that lets users talk to one of its most advanced AI chatbots, LaMDA 2 (Language Model for Dialogue Applications). LaMDA 2 is Google's pride and joy, so much so that AI had a dedicated segment. This goal is to learn, improve and innovate responsibly on AI together. 'AI Test Kitchen' is "meant to give you a sense of what it might be like to have LaMDA in your hands". Meta's latest and greatest AI chatbot, BlenderBot 3, is for public consumption. BlenderBot can still make rude or offensive comments, which is why we are collecting feedback that will help make future chatbots better.

Google and Meta's AI conversational chatbots:

The AI's ability to maintain conversations about a theme and keep you interested if you try deviating. Both Google and Meta have unveiled their AI conversational chatbots, asking the public to give feedback. The best way to improve these bots is to throw them into the public arena, where the chattering populace will stress-test and manipulate them in ways no fair-minded engineer would dream of.

AI Test Kitchen will soon be letting people download the app and start chatting. The AI Test Kitchen app will allow beta testers to interact with the NLP model in a limited capacity. This lack of tolerance for bots saying unhelpful things, in the broad sense of it, is unfortunate. BlenderBot 3 is designed to improve its conversational skills and safety through feedback from people who chat with it.

Meta definitely applied fewer restrictions to interacting with BlenderBot. And on the other hand, Google is limiting conversations with LaMDA 2 to a few basic modes. The best way to improve these same bots is to throw them into the public arena, where the chattering populace will stress-test and manipulate them in ways no fair-minded engineer would dream of.
