It's easy to look like you're "ahead" by constantly releasing shiny new things that aren't actually profitable. Until OpenAI is generating billions in profit, I wouldn't be so quick to criticize the other big companies. Google in particular has a reputation[0] to defend - they're not going to risk their cash cow with a half-cocked LLM that spouts patent falsehoods half the time. Not to mention the false economics of losing money on every single search.
