The conclusion that google has/will fail in AI because they haven’t led the industry for a few the last months, or because ‘a lot of words’, is a bit premature. Obviously not ideal to ever have competition have success but this is kneejerk so hard you’re about to knee your own chin.

Definitely not a good look on their end, but yeah... too early to just declare one of the biggest tech companies on the planet to be completely fooked here.

I just find the reaction from Pichai weird: calling Page/Brin in, but why not keep that super-confidential? It has been all over the news for days, and makes it seem like Google was completely caught off guard with ChatGPT's performance. Google, the company that introduced the idea of "intelligence" to data aggregator services. Maybe Pichai is just working overtime and panicked, but seemed weird how he reacted to Microsoft.
