Other than it responding with natural language, I'm not too sure what is impressive? The flight and hotel search is truncated and shows very few options. The itinerary is pretty basic and any chat ai could generate that. What did it need access to my emails for? Just the dates and given how bad Gmail search has gotten, I would be surprised how well this truly works. The data vs results is not worth it imo
I see your point. But to me, Bard looks like what Google Assistant/Siri/Alexa were sold to us as but failed to deliver. Like, an actual personal assistant that can do valuable legwork. But agreed,...

What's wrong with Gmail search? I'd agree with Google search being almost useless nowadays but for me, whenever I search my emails in Gmail it's been rock solid.

Today we’re rolling out Bard’s most capable model yet. Bard now integrates with Google apps and services for more helpful responses. We’ve also improved the “Google it” feature to double-check Bard’s answers and expanded features to more places.
Users can opt in to give the AI access to their own silo of Google content for more personalized results.
Google is following OpenAI and Salesforce’s lead in enabling its AI to access the real-time capabilities of the company’s other apps — including Maps, YouTube, Hotels and Flights, among others. What’s more, users will be able to mix and match those API requests using natural language requests.
Transparency
In an effort to improve the transparency of its AI’s reasoning, Google is both explicitly linking to the sites that it is summarizing, and introducing a Double Check feature that will highlight potentially unfounded responses. When users click on Bard’s G button, the AI will independently audit its latest response and search the web for supporting information. If Search turns up contradictory evidence, the statement is highlighted orange. Conversely, heavily referenced and supported statements will be highlighted green.
I really like this double check feature. Very cleverly implemented — I wonder if that would be patent eligible or not, or if we’re going to see it implemented in competing products like Bing,...

With the amount of AI junk getting published now, it needs to take into account WHO is supporting it, not just that theres 900 AI generated seo pages that agree with each other.

Absolutely, I would hope that Google is not just blindly counting references but is leveraging its internal TrustRank equivalent or whatever they model their E-E-A-T data into.

Let a plausible sentence generator chew on my personal data. What could go wrong?
I don't like it either. On the other hand, that grand canyon example has me impressed. Seems real world valuable. I'm torn.
