The scenario is different. This would be like if Nokia had the Lumia running Windows Phone, meanwhile they're selling Symbian phones and Apple introduces the iPhone. Surely they'd just launch their Lumia, no?
If Google didn't already have both more experience in language models, experimental demos like ChatGPT (Lambda, and Meena) and more data, then I'd agree with the article.

If ChatGPT was a fully generalized "general AI", then yes Google would be seriously in trouble as Google does not have an equivalent.

No. Nokia had a (770, 800, 810, N900) smartphone and self-sabotaged it because it didn't want to cannibalize its Symbian business.
- endisneigh 4y agoI had a N810, Maemo was cool but would've been stomped on by the iPhone. The Lumia was Nokia's first phone with proper modern UX.
- senko 4y agoThe point being, Nokia had the tech and was stumped on by iPhone nevertheless.
- endisneigh 4y agomy point is that it wasn't competitive. having inferior tech in your back pocket will not help you.
- pigsty 4y agoIf Google had a reputation for maintaining projects long term and successfully and if their experimental AI models got even 1% of the hype and attention these quietly launched and massively covered and functional models like ChatGPT got, I’d think you had a point.
