We Tried Google’s New AI Tools, Here’s What We Learned – SlashGear

In terms of weaknesses, many of the new tools suffer from the same flaws other LLM AI programs tend to have. Accuracy isn’t guaranteed, and you should definitely double-check any information you are provided with the AI bot. 

The quality of the AI’s writing is also suspect. In one email draft seen above, the bot started every sentence with the letter I, which every schoolboy knows is bad form. This theme recurred in a lot of emails the bot was asked to draft and requires time and creativity to fix. Equally, it simply made things up that could have landed the person sending the email in hot water had they not edited said email first — including adding incidents that weren’t mentioned in the prompt.

Another example involved a draft of an email to a bank asking for an overdraft extension. It assumed we had been with that bank for over 10 years and had an excellent credit history. Removing this information also removed the core argument from the email itself.

Then there are the options you have available. As with other tools, a successful outcome relies heavily on the quality of your prompt. The more information in the prompt, the more accurate Duet’s response will be. Unfortunately, this is a bit much if the tool is there to save you time, especially as prompt writing is a talent worthy of six figures, as some employers seem to think. For the tools to have real utility, Google’s model has to turn minimal input into something very useful.
