Sundar Pichai in 2027: I'm excited to announce that Google will now be called "Gemini" 😂😂
That sure is a lot of AI. How should anyone know which product does what? There where like 30 different AI tools.
I love the soullessness from the speakers.
So this means every laptop should be equipped with a minimum of 5 TB of storage, and 128GB of Ram.
Soo many AI. Most people wont be able to keep up
"and yes you can close laptop" would be the innovative thing so far
When do you think we'll collectively finally realize that generating fake everything with AI doesn't add value. A picture is only interesting because "It happened"... faking or altering it wipes out the value of anything. Creating a song requires talent... that's what makes it valuable. Cultivating experience in musical instruments... learning tonality in singing. Everything in this supercut and everything from Gemini... feels soulless. Artless. Sad.
I'll summarize the whole thing, ai. Slop, you welcome 🎉
The only ai feature I need is to automatically skip ads
Summary: our own phones, laptops, or any digital devices which we paid and purchased with our hard earned money will not be ours.
None of features are wanted.
Was this Google I/O pure AI? That is sad and disappointing
Hi Gemini, "Could you wipe my butt for me please" "Im sorry I don't like curry"
Google I/O 2026 was Google AI/O 2026 way tooooooooooo much AI
Why should i use talking instead of typing? Typing is more comfortable, more private.
More products, but besides 3.5 Flash no real model updates. If Google was an AI first company, would they not at least try to hav a competitive flagship model?
So why can't we replace all CEOs like Sundar with AI ?
So when will this make life better… solve hunger, reduce war, give life meaning and purpose, improve the human condition? Until it does something that will truely work for humanity then all of this is just commercial noise.
Holy fall off, entire thing is just useless AI slop that no one will use. I remember when these presentations were actually exciting and unveiled REAL new improvements...
So now we have Google Images, Google Photos and Google Pics.
