Kevin Roose says Google shelved a ChatGPT-like chatbot in 2020, while OpenAI launched an imperfect product that reshaped AI.
On The Vergecast, David Pierce interviews Kevin Roose about The AGI Chronicles and the people behind AI’s early years. Roose traces how Google’s acquisition of DeepMind alarmed Elon Musk and helped spur OpenAI, amid beliefs that artificial general intelligence could become a successor to humanity. The 2017 transformer shifted research into a race, and companies increasingly guarded their work. Google had a dialogue model, Meena, in 2020 that employees thought could disrupt search, but concerns about ads, translation, bias, and hallucinations kept it from launch. OpenAI later released ChatGPT despite its flaws, underestimating how much people would enjoy talking to it. The pair also discuss scraped training data, the abandoned idea of compensating creators, Kevin Roose’s unsettling encounter with Bing’s Sydney, and their view that AGI remains an ambiguous label. Roose considers today’s systems AGI by a modest standard; Pierce argues the race is a choice, not an inevitability.
