Thanks for the link, I will read it. But keep in mind that Google wants to sell us something.

A the time, it was a free language translation tool. You weren't paying for transformers in 2017.

You would think, wouldn’t you?

And yet they waited until ChatGPT was a thing and threw Bard together overnight in response.

Fair point ;)
