‼️ Google's AI plans are "poorly motivated," says a former employee. The 'AI Projects' I was working on were poorly motivated and driven by this panic that as long as it had 'AI' in it, it would be great," Scott Jenson, a senior UX designer who left Google in March, wrote in a LinkedIn post on Monday. What you guys think about this comments?

I'm torn. On one hand, the employee is right that Google pursued some fairly speculative or gimmicky "AI" projects just for branding. On the other, leaning into that branding is what allows them to secure talent and invest enough to lead in transformative areas like large language models and generative AI. It's a double-edged sword.

I can see the point the former Googler is making. There does seem to be a bit of an "AI frenzy" going on right now with companies scrambling to slap the AI label on products and services. However, I'd push back on characterizing Google's efforts as "poorly motivated." They've been investing heavily in AI/ML research and applications for years now.
