Summary
Google has abandoned its plans for an AI-powered chatbot app called "Bubble Characters" for Gen Z users. The app would have featured cartoon-like characters engaging in conversations and offering advice. However, Google recently deprioritized the project amid internal reorganization. The app's description highlighted its "human-like" conversations powered by large language models. Some team members working on the app were asked to pause their work and focus on another project called Bard. Additionally, some top AI researchers at Google have left the company to start their own chatbot companies.
