> Google’s chat bots are way ahead of ChatGPT, at least from what we can see from the outside. And there's the project. If the public (developers and/or end users) can't use it, it might as well not exist. > ChatGPT is clearly nowhere near being ready for actual product use. The only thing preventing ChatGPT from being used in production is that it's not exposed through a proper API. It's a demo preview. There are lots of produts out there using GPT3 right now, and they will all benefit from switching to whatever next iteration (as result of feedback from ChatGPT) is. > If the NYT really thinks Google is somehow caught unawares here, they clearly have no understanding of what Google’s research program looks like. Journalists always exaggerate, but research is not production, and in the case of Google the difference is painfully obvious.
