The Spin
Narrative A
Google's technology isn't quite perfect yet, but this demo launch proves that Gemini Live is going to be a serious competitor in the AI race. Not only does it offer detailed, accurate answers to almost any question, it can do it on all mobile devices while sounding just like a human personal assistant.
Narrative B
This demo launch doesn't erase Google's past growing pains and doubts about whether the company is ready to launch new products. Google seems to be rushing products to market in an effort to catch up in the AI race, while throwing safety to the side of the road.
