LaMDA, our most recent research breakthrough, adds pieces of the most intriguing piece of that puzzle: Conversation.
Although conversations are more focused on specific topics, they can also be open-ended and lead to completely new areas. Talking to a friend about a TV program could turn into a conversation about the country in which the show was shot. Then, the conversation could lead to a debate about the best regional cuisine in that country. Modern chatbots, also known as chatbots, can be a bit stumped by this wandering quality. They tend to follow pre-determined paths and narrow conversations. LaMDA, which stands for "Language Model for Dialog Applications", can engage in a free-flowing manner about seemingly endless topics. This ability could open up new ways to interact with technology and help you find more useful applications.
