Google recently ditched a new A.I. called “Bubble Characters” for Gen Zers that was in development, CNBC reported. The chatbot was meant to converse with young users in “humanlike” interactions that would be “interesting for Gen Z,” according to a document reviewed by CNBC.
The chatbot was a large language model (LLM), like ChatGPT, trained on a huge dataset of human text. It used a cartoonish voice, asked the user questions about themselves, and offered relationship advice, the document revealed.
