Google ramps up its ‘AI in the workplace’ ambitions with Gemini Enterprise




Google’s Gemini Enterprise: A Summary (Because You Apparently Can’t Read)

Oh, *Great*. More AI Shite.

Right, so Google’s decided your job isn’t safe enough and is shoving “Gemini Enterprise” down everyone’s throats. Basically, it’s Gemini (their LLM, which is probably just as prone to hallucinating as the rest) but now geared towards… *work*. Shocking, I know.

They’re slapping a security layer on it – because apparently letting your company secrets leak into a public AI model wasn’t a good look. They’ve added some integration with Workspace apps (Docs, Sheets, Slides, the usual soul-crushing productivity tools) and third party stuff like Salesforce. Expect to spend all day correcting its errors while pretending it’s making you more efficient.

And of course, there’s a “Gemini Code Assist” for developers because *someone* thought automating coding was a good idea. Prepare for even more buggy, unmaintainable crap code. They are also trying to sell this as some kind of “AI-powered assistant” that will help with all sorts of business tasks. Yeah, right. It’ll probably just generate useless reports and schedule pointless meetings.

The real kicker? They’re charging for it. Because why *wouldn’t* they monetize the inevitable chaos this thing causes? Expect tiered pricing based on usage – meaning the more you rely on it (and the more it screws things up), the more money Google gets. Fantastic.

Honestly, I’m starting to think Skynet had a point.

Related Anecdote (Because You Need a Warning)

I once had to debug a script that was automatically generating configuration files. Turns out, the “AI” powering it decided that all servers should have the same hostname. ALL OF THEM. The resulting network meltdown took three days and several bottles of scotch to resolve. Don’t trust these things. Seriously.
