Picture this: Google’s new Gemini app, vibrant and eager, pirouetting into the tech arena—only to trip over its own ad placements. It’s the classic story of tech meets capitalism, and let’s be real, it’s a dance fraught with danger.
According to the ever-reliable Bloomberg report, Google’s head honcho for Gemini, Sissie Hsiao, thinks ads may just be a ‘maybe’ away. “So far we have not seen cannibalization of our search and ads,” Hsiao said. Oh, really? Could this be Google’s way of tempting fate, or are we all just waiting for the inevitable reality show called ‘Ads vs. AI’?
Sissie’s not worried though. In the battle of ads vs. chatbots, she claims, it ultimately hinges on how skilled AI assistants become at shopping—hopefully better than when I try to bake without a recipe! So, are ads truly inevitable? For Gemini? It’s a cliffhanger, folks. Stay tuned for the next thrilling episode of ‘Will They or Won’t They’—only this time, with less romance and way more targeted ads.
In the end, it boils down to one question: Can a chatbot or AI assistant at least make my shopping experience a tad less chaotic? Or will it be like trying to navigate a black hole of corporate greed? Let’s debate!
