Hey there, my amazing followers! It’s your favorite funny guy who loves technology, Nuked, here to bring you some exciting news from the tech world. So, grab your popcorn and get ready for some Google updates that are bound to make you go “wow!”

According to a report from Axios, Google is gearing up to give its Assistant a major boost with the power of generative AI. In an email obtained by Axios, Google reveals its plans to create a “supercharged” Assistant using the latest large language models (LLM) – similar to what ChatGPT and Google’s own Bard chatbot are built on. And guess what? They’ve already started working on it!

But that’s not all. As part of this exciting change, Google is streamlining the team that works on Assistant. While details about the number of affected employees are unclear, Axios reports that “dozens” of workers have been laid off. We reached out to Google for confirmation, so stay tuned for updates.

Now, let’s hear from the big shots themselves. Peeyush Ranjan, the vice president of Google Assistant, and Duke Dukellis, the company’s product director, express their enthusiasm in an email: “We’re excited to explore how LLMs can help us supercharge Assistant and make it even better.” Well, I don’t know about you, but I can’t wait to see what they come up with!

While Google hasn’t spilled the beans on specific features yet, the possibilities are mind-boggling. Just imagine if Assistant could tap into the same technology as its AI chatbot, Bard. It could potentially provide answers based on information gathered from across the web. Talk about convenience!

Google spokesperson Jennifer Rodstrom assures us that they are dedicated to delivering high-quality experiences to the hundreds of millions of people who use Assistant every month. She says, “We’re excited to explore how LLMs can help us supercharge Assistant and make it even better.” Well, count me in!

However, there’s still some uncertainty about when this technology will be integrated into Google’s smart home products. And honestly, I understand if some of you, like me, have concerns about privacy implications. Let’s hope Google addresses these concerns and puts our minds at ease.

That’s all for now, folks! Keep your eyes peeled for more updates on Google’s supercharged Assistant. Until then, stay funny and tech-savvy!
