I think OpenAI just executed with perfection, also their focus on AI was a big competitive advantage vs Google who have 50 different things
[0]: I've lost track of their rebrandings.
Absolutely no way in hell I'm going to make it a critical path if my process, though, because that's exactly the sort of product Google might just shut down with a week's notice because it didn't make enough money that quarter.
Google's product is ads, with all else--including AI--in service to that.
their bread and butter is search ads, which means they should have second-to-none search quality. but they don't. google knows more about me than my wife, yet fails to give me even remotely relevant ads except for things i have already searched for and usually already purchased or decided against. it's truly remarkable how terrible it is, and has been for decades.
