Where did you find this, by the way, a 25-year-old?

It's like if you beat the best team in football, are you the new best team in football no matter what?

Oh, kind of like a next word predictor.

Oh, that came out of this?

Right.

And it's a really tightly scoped problem where you can see like, oh, wow, 80% of the time that someone types in God groomer, oh, they actually mean dog groomer and they retype it.

And if it's really high confidence, then you actually just correct it without even asking them and then ask them if they want to opt out instead of opting in.

It's a great feature and it's sort of a great first use case for this in a very narrowly scoped domain.

These AI researchers love creating their acronyms.

Yeah.

Yep.

Huh.

I had no idea that language models were involved in this.

Thanks to Phil.

All right.

This is a moment where we got to stop and just give some Jeff Dean facts.

Jeff Dean is going to be the through line of this episode of, wait, how did Google pull that off?

How did Jeff Dean just go home and over the weekend rewrite some entire giant distributed system and figure out all of Google's problems?

Back when Chuck Norris facts were big, Jeff Dean facts became a thing internally at Google.

I just want to give you some of my favorites.
