The demos at I/O yesterday seemed cool but I'm not really sure how much value I'd get out of it. Being able to generate apps on the fly is cool in practice but what happens when there's bugs or data? With existing software, there's entire teams dedicated to finding bugs and engineers dedicate part of their time to fix them. But with these, that burden lies on you, the user.
I'm sure the PR response is to ask it to check / fix it's work. In practice with the current models I've messed with that only works so well unless you know the right questions to ask. Google...
I'm sure the PR response is to ask it to check / fix it's work. In practice with the current models I've messed with that only works so well unless you know the right questions to ask. Google seems to be claiming they've fixed that and 'lil timmy can make an OS from scratch just by asking for it, but I guess we'll see.
Kind of torn, because if nothing else there are some abandonware apps ( Minuum keyboard ) that I miss that would be nice to have working recreations of. Who knows how much it would cost or if it could make stable versions that I could trust though.
All this is also an existential threat to the Internet as a whole. If Google isn't driving traffic to websites but just 'doing it for you' a lot of places that rely on ad revenue are going to die off. That has pros and cons but it's definitely a change they're forcing on everyone.

I don't think they're real apps in the way we typically think of them. It's more like some features running in the Gemini sandbox.
I think of them more like web apps I guess. Instead of the browser being the platform, Gemini's sandbox is the platform.
