Google could be working on a chatbot within Google Maps

Google could be working on integrating a chatbot within Google Maps, though its use cases are not currently fleshed out
Pretty much sums up most use cases for LLMs in products. Throw in "AI" because it's the gimmick right now, scream "me too!", and find a use for it later.
- Honestly getting annoyed with it by now. Everyone and their dog is announcing their own AI chatbots inside their products, each one with a more derpy name than the last.
  You have access to OpenAi's API, I get it already please shut up about it.
Why...
- They need something to scrap in 3 years when it doesn't work it's the Google way don't ya know
  
  Good point
But... But why?
- The email I got was saying how you can use it to chat with friends inside maps to plan trips or something like that and the bot would intervene
  
  Why not just use... Messenging apps for that.
  
  Thank you.
  Is it weird that I find this so unnecessary and intrusive?
Nah, I hate AI. Over hyped, why does EVERYTHING need it...
I WANT OFF THIS RIDE
It's not a terrible idea. Bard is really good about answering location related questions
Might as well just add a messaging function to Maps while they're at it.
- They already did
Ah yes, more bloat
