Now it seems that Google, which has developed Bard and Gemini AI, will also integrate these empathetic AI into their signature map navigation service Google Maps. Read on for more chatty mapping services, Google Maps will introduce generative AI search capabilities.

With the popularity of generative AI, many people’s imagination and expectations for artificial intelligence are quite high – and there are even many safety considerations (after all, it is in the movie).
However, for most people, the benefits brought by the so-called large language model (LLM). Personally, I think it focuses on the advantages of being more empathetic and producing better-understood results – even if sometimes the responses may be “hallucination” results that tend to appeal to people, but at least this is the basic common sense for most people to use this type of service.
Now it seems that Google, which has developed Bard and Gemini AI, will also integrate these empathetic AI into their signature map navigation service Google Maps.
「舉例來說，如果你在外面突然遇到下雨，只需向地圖查詢 “rainy day activities”（雨天活動）來獲得室內活動的建議。你將獲得一些建議，如喜劇表演或電影院。如果你在尋找整個家庭都能享受的選擇，可以提出進一步的問題，如：“有關兒童的選擇呢？”你將看到一些地方，如保齡球館、兒童博物館或室內遊樂場，具體取決於你所處的位置，以及根據曾經到過該地點的人的評論而進行的亮點介紹。」

Through the “Ask about” experimental function of the latest Generative AI Experiment, you will be able to directly ask various conditions in a spoken manner in the Google Maps service and ask Google Maps to analyze the map data to provide corresponding recommended answers.
According to the usage scenarios currently obtained by foreign media, you can basically ask something like “recommended retro attractions in San Francisco” and have Google Maps recommend places including retro-style clothing, flea markets, etc. You can also continue to ask for further recommendations such as “What about restaurants?” There are also examples such as “the best brunch spots nearby”, “activities for outdoor enthusiasts to do nearby”, “fun activities to do with friends nearby”, etc. are all ways to ask directly.

According to reports, this experimental feature that uses GAI to super-enhance the map experience is expected to be released this week and is expected to be available to all users. I believe that for many people, this kind of experience combined with the rich map data of Google Maps will allow people to enjoy the “lazy man’s package” information organization experience provided by AI at any time. It should be a very good tool.
