It is not "code red" because Google doesn't have comparable deep net expertise to openAI. It is "code red" because whenever a market is disrupted, it offers opportunity to unseat the leader.
Up to now, Google was so far ahead, that even after investing tons of resources, Microsoft wasn't able to catch up. If search is turned upside down by combining deep neural nets with a large index, then suddenly the Microsoft+OpenAI partnership is a real threat. Yes, Google could do that too, but they don't have necessarily an unsurmountable advantage.
- thewarrior 4y agoSurprised I had to scroll so far down to see this. You hit the nail on the head. ChatGPT suddenly made the task of making a Google replacement 10x easier. The issue being the cost. Now imagine a world where we figure out ways to make these models 10x cheaper. And if those breakthroughs are open source then it won’t be just OpenAI there will be tons of startups all after Google. They need to build some sort of moat here to prevent this outcome.
