The study: We ran 500 product questions through Google’s Gemini: name a product and it searches the web 78% of the time; describe the need without naming one and it searches 7%, answering from memory. https://www.opendecision.com/research/when-does-ai-search-the-web One question we had that didn’t seem to have a clear answer anywhere was when AI searches the web (similar to a Google search) versus when it relies on its memory from training. We took it upon ourselves to conduct research to better understand this dynamic. This research is relevant to anyone looking to understand how AI constructs responses, as well as businesses trying to teach AI about their products and capabilities, whether through information available on the web or AI’s training and memory. submitted by /u/MattWags_33
