This looks pretty bearish for Google. Bard is clearly a half-baked/unfinished product, and its release represents Google blinking in fear at OpenAI/Microsoft and the like. Google has been undergoing years of stagnation and this announcement is a good hint that they don't have any aces up their sleeve. If there were ever a time for Google's operational problems and inefficiencies to finally catch up with them, this would be it.
