It blows my mind that that is people think the currently released Bard is the best they can do. They're the ones who invented the tech. GPT is based on a Google research paper from 6 Years ago.
Remember that Google had to fire one of their engineers because he believed their AI was conscious. That was a year ago. If they have computer scientists being fooled by their internal tech, it seems obvious to me that you can't roll it out to consumers.

Not many, if any, of the researchers who wrote "Attention is All You Need" are still at Google. I believe one or two are at OpenAI as well.

I think only one of the authors still works at Google
but I would still put raw engineering of google over open ai but google has problems in execution and maintaing

I think google is full of smart engineers but terrible product managers, their products generally suck to use (Angular, Tensorflow etc) and they cancel a lot of them. The culture is a bit broken there.

I think people have this vision that Google is very capable and but the Emperor may actually have no clothes ...
No doubt their research is top tier (note that until now they didn't even merge their AI labs), but that is very different to releasing AI products. They could have released numerous products in this space, but they didn't.
Only now that they are forced to are they even trying and woe and behold they were unprepared. They got complacent and underdog sucker punched them to attention. Microsoft may have got lucky with their particular bet on AI but they are pushing very hard and it's great to see some competition.
I hope Google bring their A game but they have to beat Bing and GPT4 on price, quality and ecosystem, that may be quite challenging event with their resources
