Google's models are leaps and bounds beyond OpenAI

It's frustrating that they wont release it, but it's by and large BECAUSE it's so advanced. Google's AI is connected to the internet, so all of its information is up to date, dynamic, and constantly evolving. The very nature of connecting it to the web with constant streams of information pretty much inherently remove most safe guards and leave open tons of room for rapid growth and abuse that Google wont be able to stay ahead of against millions of people using it.

It's also potentially a general AI. It's not just ChatGPT style, but their AI is also connected to EVERYTHING you can imagine. Not just knowledge databases from 2020 and before... It's more closely resembling an actual mind like human's that have tons and tons of different "brains" all working together. You can work with maps, weather data, traffic, breaking news, art, internet of things, you name it. They connect everything in their AI

This is what Google has been working on the past year. It's entirely on improvement and guard rails. But it looks like Google has realized the cat's out of the bag, so they want to bring it to market sooner than later before everyone starts building businesses on the OpenAI framework instead of theirs.
