It’s saying “back quote” because internally it uses backticks whenever it produces code. Its a miracle it didn’t say “back quote” three times at the beginning and end of the code it was telling you lol
Gemini is reading out the backquote (`) during text-to-audio translation of the LLM's response. This happens because the response is formatted in Markdown, where backquotes (`) are used to represent inline code blocks.
when you asked "is that right?" around 9:01, it would have been nice if it caught and corrected the typo of the word "length". A.I still seems to struggle with granular details such as string comparisons when looking at a broad set of details. Its nice to see the utility and improvements of these A.I assistants though, it'll only get better, maybe even close to talking to a real human. Thanks! Enjoyed the video
to be fair, its extremely hard to talk about code as a human. people who pair program often have a shared keyboard/mouse and pass it back and fourth (or do this virtually by sharing the same codespace). I think Gemini did about as good on that front as most human programmers would do. I think it got confused about the Copilot shadow text, and whether or not that was code you had already written, or a comment describing your intent to write code, or something else.
This is amazing. When they perfect this stuff, let you have a text window on the side of your screen as well as an image window where they can show image of altered versions of your screen or even video. So instead of just being agentic it can guide you through making stuff using image/video, text and voice as well as perform actions when needed.
Tell it this at the beginning to stop the backquote thing: "For reference, you must never use any markdown codeblocks and must return your phonetic pronunciations for all code. This means no inline code ("`") or code blocks ("```"). You can use copletions like "dunder" as in "dunder name" instead of "__name" for coding. Please keep this in mind throughout."
I played Call of Duty with it on screen and it gave me info of what was going on, what i got killed by and who did it. you can even ask it weapon names and even the trinkets on the weapon. this thing is crazy!
@@RefreshingShamrock it’s used to denote code blocks in markdown which is what llms are trained on for their chat features. It’s an incredibly accurate voice ai, but accurate to a fault because it reads verbatim.
Maaan, it cracked me so bad when "he" continued saying "backquote", I started laughing out loud.. If Google ever decides to give codenames to Gemini like it did with Android, 2.0 should definitely be named "backquote" :D
Sounds like they're using backquotes ````` to hold/denote inserted code from the LLM and the speech output is reading it literally. But what do I know? I'm a `chat bot`!
This is great! You know what? I think Google is working really hard behind the scenes. It might not be as flashy as OpenAI, but let's not forget about all the tools they offer. It's great for customers too! Great Video, thanks Alex.
looks interesting, its good to see Google keep improving the Gemini model family. I just hope they keep committed to the project. We all know how often their priorities change. wonder how long they keep it in preview?
I think the backquote was from the markdown it was creating for the written chat. Backquote is what you do in markdown to create a code block (displayed as a fixed-width font). Clearly they should have escaped that.
The core model generates markdown text and then it is read by voice. and the backquote is what is used to denote a code block. so the voice is only reading the text generated. so backquote would be mentioned anytime it's reading a codeblock.
Maybe it can start typing instead of dictating. While its writing the code, you can talk to it and ask for changes or show the problems with the code. The difference from copilot (that i would like) would be that the agent can run the code and figure out that the code was wrong and iterate to fix it, rather than waiting for you to try the code and then manually ask for changes based on the errors you receive. While writing code and unit test is also possible, i want the code to write QA test cases or something like Cucumber BDD test cases. That would actually reduce work required for Dev/QA, once the code is done the unit test, security test, QA tests all can be generated and run.
Copilot seems much quicker and more useful if you already know what you're doing. Gemini would probably be more useful for someone like me who's barely done any coding - like when you were asking it if the code looked right. I suppose a good test would be to put in some deliberate errors (other than just spelling errors) and see what it does. The other thing to consider is as it says it's literally in the experimental phase - hopefully some of those annoying issues can get phased out. Very promising!
The main difference really is that the Gemini can look at your whole screen and answer general questions about all programs you are using. Additionally, you can show it your terminal output here and it can react to that or you can browse to your file structure and it can respond to issues there. In the end the text output and code autocompletion and the generic multimodal helpers will be integrated into single solutions. This looks very promising indeed.
It keeps saying backquote because the models are trained to enclose code in triple backticks (```) for text output. which is why when you use the text models the code is formatted.
it keeps saying backquote because it's generating output text, and to put code in a codeblock, it's wrapped in backquotes. so it's just reading the output
And let's hope Google bring out their XR Glasses soon as a proper platform rather than a half thought through thing like Glass which was then pulled just as it got going.
Loved the video. Looks like it's currently assumes a person is a newbie and gives very simple suggestions. It'd be better if user could choose to get more high level advance "advice/suggestion", sort of like difficult levels (easy/med/hard) in games.
Another fun fact: spelled here is serving as a verb in the passive voice and should be followed by an adverb. Therefore the correct form is 'spelled incorrectly' 😛
i guess the backquote is it reading out the text response that is formatted in markdown. Backquote is used to highlight codeblocks, so that makes sense

The backquote "`" is coming from it reading code in Markdown format since the character is used to indicate inline code blocks.

Back quote : that’s because it was trained on markdown docs where you use back quote to enter keywords.

Backquote is used to mark the start end end of the code in the training documents. Like this `print(name)`. That's why.
