Let the record show that it took a full 9 minutes into this year's Google I/O 2023 before Google's plans for getting a little more artificial intelligence into our lives filled me with blood-chilling terror. Frankly, I'm pleased at my restraint.
AI dominated Google I/O this year, as Google wanted to remind us that any suggestion it had been caught flat-footed by ChatGPT was completely off the mark — and it had the sweeping plans to incorporate AI into nearly every one of its products to prove it. From Maps to Gmail to Google Docs, there's an AI-powered feature that's coming soon with the promise of making your life easier as we cede just a little bit more control to our inevitable robot masters.
