Rohan Paul@rohanpaul_ai · X谷歌CEO桑达尔·皮查伊透露，公司在2022年已基于LaMDA模型开发出接近ChatGPT的产品，但因输出内容存在毒性且不符合内部质量标准而未能广泛发布。皮查伊指出，公司存在“搜索质量偏见”，对产品的可靠性和安全性设有更高门槛。LaMDA模型并非仅停留在研究阶段，谷歌曾通过AI Test Kitchen进行有限测试。他补充道，从后视镜看，OpenAI的成功在当时并非显而易见，这使得谷歌的决策过程更为复杂。
Google was not far from launching its own ChatGPT-like product back in 2022.
Sundar Pichai talks about how Google had already built a almost equvalent product around LaMDA， but its raw behavior was too toxic for Google standards， and unreliable to ship broadly.
Pichai： "I think as a company， you had this search quality bias， and so， you know， we had a higher bar， for what we thought was an acceptable product quality to go out."
The LaMDA model of Google was not simply a case of brilliant research sitting on a shelf， because Google had already started turning the model into a product and even exposed a constrained version through AI Test Kitchen.
Pichai is also saying hindsight makes the miss look cleaner than it felt at the time， because even OpenAI's move was not instantly obvious as the winning form factor.
