Microsoft being late to the party is going to cost them a lot of money.
Google and Facebook are the clear leaders in AI and they been spending a lot of money building out their AI infrastructure over the last decade. You haven't heard much about Microsoft's investments other than them buying rights to OpenAI models. Seems like they could have saved a lot of money if they started investing years ago.
Google bought DeepMind for 400m 8 years ago. You could argue DeepMind is on the same level or above OpenAI.
- zalyh 4y agoI mean, are they late to all the parties though? I think ChatGPT has the momentum to corner the end-user market. It's one of the best tools out there that can help writers, developers and any profession that uses text communication. Google and Facebook might be better at some things, and maybe Apple too. But none of them has brought to market a chatbot that works pretty well(and not just as a party trick) and is very accessible to anyone on the Internet. I would love it if open up Siri such that I can communicate with it on a site just like ChatGPT.

Google and Facebook may have good research teams, but so far they don‘t seem to be able to use them to ship products (with some exceptions, mostly incremental improvements to quality of existing products) and that‘s what will count.
