據報 Google Lens 即將可於 YouTube Shorts 中使用
這項功能預計本週開始向所有 Shorts 用戶推送，當啟用後用戶可在暫停影片時，從上方選單中選擇 Google Lens，然後點擊或圈起影片中需要的元素再去搜尋。搜尋結果與視覺比對結果會直接在 Shorts 畫面上以疊加的方式去顯示，令用戶更清楚是否有正確搜尋出來。
在宣布 Lens 會推出測試版的 YouTube 說明頁面中的公告指出，由於Lens in Shorts正處於測試階段，用戶不會在搜尋結果中看到廣告。此外，公告亦提到「Lens 體驗不適用於含有 YouTube 購物聯盟連結或付費產品推廣的 Shorts」。雖然這次的測試版暫時不見商業化元素，但相信未來幾可肯定會有廣告上的合作關連，畢竟YouTube 的廣告收入相當龐大，Google 絕不會看漏這條財路吧。

The 'late-night decision' that led to ChatGPT's name
"Chat with GPT-3.5" doesn't really roll off the tongue, but it's almost what OpenAI named ChatGPT. On the latest episode of the OpenAI podcast, two leadersinvolved with the chatbot's development, research chief Mark Chen and head of ChatGPT Nick Turley, spoke about the days leading up to the launch that made the tool go viral. "It was going to be Chat with GPT-3.5, and we had a late-night decision to simplify" the name, Turley said on the podcast published July 1. The team made the name change the day before the version's late 2022 launch, he said. "We realized that that would be hard to pronounce and came up with a great name instead," Turley said. They settled on ChatGPT, short for "generative pre-trained transformer." Since then, ChatGPT has gained millions of users who turn to the chatbot for everything from routine web searches to guidance on how to give a friend career advice. Rivals, including Meta AI, Google's Gemini, and DeepSeek, have also sprung up. Before ChatGPT's launch, few within OpenAI expected the name to be so consequential, said Andrew Mayne, the podcast host and OpenAI's former science communicator. He said the chatbot's capabilities were largely similar to those of previous versions. The main differences included a more user-friendly interface and, of course, the name. "It's the same thing, but we just put the interface in here and made it so you didn't have to prompt as much," Mayne said on the podcast. After OpenAI launched ChatGPT, though, the chatbot took off, with Reddit users as far away as Japan experimenting with it, Turley said. It soon became clear that ChatGPT's popularity wasn't going to fade quickly and that the tool was "going to change the world," he said. "We've had so many launches, so many previews over time, and this one really was something else," Chen said on the podcast. ChatGPT's success represented another kind of milestone for Chen: "My parents just stopped asking me to go work for Google," he said.

Here's why everyone is using YouTube Music — even if they don't love it!
Joe Maring / Android Authority Not many years ago, if you mentioned YouTube Music in a room full of long-time Google Play Music users, you could probably hear their collective sigh from space. Google retired its beloved service in 2020 and replaced it with something that, at the time, felt underbaked to be a true music player. Fast-forward to 2025, and while the groans haven't completely died down, nearly everyone we know, including our readers, is using YouTube Music. This revelation came straight from an open discussion we're currently running on Android Authority. With over 8,000 votes and counting, the majority of respondents say that YouTube Music is their music streaming service of choice, not Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, or anything else. YouTube Music has emerged as the king, albeit not the most elegant ruler, but a practical one that people appreciate for its convenience. What is your current music streaming platform? 8532 votes YouTube Music 79 % Spotify 12 % Apple Music 3 % Deezer 1 % Tidal 2 % Amazon Music 1 % Pandora 1 % Another service (mention in the comments) 1 % The numbers make sense Joe Maring / Android Authority You have to admit that making YouTube Music a part of the YouTube Premium subscription was a genius move by Google. We definitely expected some strong opinions when we asked our readers about their preferred streaming service, but what we didn't expect was an overwhelming pattern that emerged. People aren't picking YouTube Music because of its vast music library or algorithmic genius. They're picking it because it makes the most sense economically. 'YT Music does everything I want and more at an affordable price (which includes YouTube Premium),' remarked another, in a long list of comments that echo the same sentiments. The YouTube Premium family plan is the real hook 'Can't beat the cost of YTM when you have a family plan,' a reader said. Cost-efficiency is one of the top reasons why people pick YouTube Music over other music streaming services. Not only does a YouTube Premium plan give you free access to millions of YouTube Music songs ad-free, offline, and while your screen is locked, but the YouTube Premium family plan is the real hook. For $22.99 per month, you can use YouTube Music without ads on up to five accounts! That's a tough one to beat for the likes of Spotify, which also offers a family plan, but one that doesn't come with a tasty side of YouTube Premium. It's not love, it's logistics Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority For many YouTube Music users, the journey began with Google Play Music's forced retirement, followed by the chaotic migration to YouTube Music. Playlists were moved, preferences were ported (sometimes badly), and the new interface took a lot of getting used to. In fact, some folks never got used to it at all. And yet, they stayed. That's because years of their accumulated music on Google Play Music moved to YouTube Music. One of our readers said, 'I use it because it's where all my music from Google Play Music went. I absolutely detest any algorithm for music. The vast majority of what I listen to is music I have bought or the 500 CDs I own and uploaded to GPM.' Clearly, when Google Play Music was migrated to YouTube Music, people didn't just want to lose all their valuable collections painfully built over time, so they stuck with YouTube Music and have been hanging on ever since. YouTube Music: The unofficial king of local, live, and forgotten content Joe Hindy / Android Authority A big advantage YouTube Music has over most global streaming giants is the availability of regional, live, obscure, and old music. The streaming service decidedly excels at it. Android Authority readers (including yours truly) acknowledge how nearly impossible it is to find specific live music, covers, local songs, old, forgotten tracks, and music from smaller countries on Spotify or Apple Music. You know where those songs almost always do exist? YouTube Music. 'One area where YouTube Music really stands out is the sheer volume of original albums available. My primary interest is the original rock era of 1964-1980. YouTube Music has virtually every original studio album from that era, by artists that matter,' said a reader. YouTube Music is a treasure trove for indie music lovers. Because YouTube Music pulls directly from YouTube's massive video library, including fan uploads, niche recordings, and regional hits, it becomes a treasure trove for indie music lovers. If someone in your country uploaded a remix of an old classic? You'll probably find it on YouTube Music. 'All the services have at least one thing where they excel over others; it just depends on what value you place on the differing features. In YTM's case, it's the ability to find live versions of tracks that I like the most. Other platforms will outperform it in other areas (such as streaming quality), but I place a high value on listening to live music, so it's the best option for me (that, plus I already pay for YT Premium anyway),' noted another reader. This is where the platform quietly wins hearts. Not with fancy recommendations or slick design, but with simple access to stuff that actually matters to you. So why aren't people raving about YouTube Music? Despite all this, very few people claim to actually really 'love' YouTube Music. It's not the darling of Reddit discussions. It doesn't drop surprise features that get headlines (unless you're into AI-generated playlists). Its recommendations algorithm, streaming quality, and UI still spark debates. And yes, some erstwhile Google Play Music users still feel stuck, with no other alternative. If you're a die-hard Spotify fan or an Apple Music lover, we get it. These platforms offer polish, clever integrations, better connectivity, and great personalized recommendations. But YouTube Music is everyman's streamer, and it's only getting better. It's the 'eh, might as well' option that just so happens to make sense financially, culturally, and practically.

Wear OS 6 fixes the most annoying thing about always-on displays, and I couldn't be more excited
Kaitlyn Cimino / Android Authority After years as a power-draining setting with significant limitations, the always-on display on Wear OS smartwatches is finally getting a glow-up. Hitting wrists via Wear OS 6, a redesigned always-on display (AOD) will now offer more functionality, adding key controls to the screen. As someone who spends way too much time flicking my wrist just to perform basic actions, I couldn't be happier. How important is an improved always-on display experience for you? 0 votes Very, I can't wait. NaN % Not very, I dont mind it the way it is. NaN % I dont use the AOD. NaN % In its developer documentation, Google confirmed that Wear OS 6 will 'consolidate existing solutions to deliver a more consistent always-on experience across devices.' In practice, that means Wear OS watches will continue to display important details even when your wrist is down. The display will retain control screens, instead of fading into a basic clock face, and honestly, it's about time (no pun intended). This might sound like a small UI tweak, but it's actually a fundamental shift in how I'll be able to use my go-to wearables. Google is baking more AOD usability directly in as a standard feature, and the example the company provided is one of the best use cases I can think of: tappable media controls visible on the ambient screen (displayed using a low-power outline design that fits the aesthetic). That means no more exaggerated arm raises trying to skip a track mid-workout, and tipping my balance on the treadmill precariously. No more wrist flicks in frustration in the middle of the road when I want to check something mid-ride. I've honestly lost count of how many times I've glanced at my watch while cooking, hoping to quickly pause my audiobook while I check a recipe note, only to be met with a static screen. I'm elated that Google is baking more AOD functionality directly into Wear OS 6. Of course, the update also goes beyond media controls. I'm also excited about the ability to use my watch's AOD more broadly as a glanceable and interactive interface, not just a low-power placeholder. Google confirmed that users' top activity will remain visible and 'in a resumed state' during ambient mode, suggesting the watch will offer more functionality right on the always-on screen. For me, this would make enabling always-on a much more worthwhile battery life trade-off. This isn't some flashy, headline-grabbing update, but it's exactly the kind of thoughtful polish I hope for as each launch season approaches. Large-scale, sweeping changes are one thing, but tiny, thoughtful user experience improvements are equally appreciated.
