Just want to reiterate something in this doc that is very important — they are super concerned about accuracy and eliminating the “hallucinations” that ChatGPT suffers from. Because of the size and scale of Google, releasing something that occasionally makes things up poses both a reputational and possible legal risk.

Smaller companies may be able to temporarily outmaneuver them by releasing things that aren’t up to Google standards for this space… just don’t count them out in the long run. After all, ChatGPT is based on research originally done by Google.
