For people in this thread convinced that Google is scrambling to come up with a ChatGPT competitor - that’s only true on the product side. Internally, LamDA has been available with a chatGPT style interface for years (maybe more like 18 months).
- lolinder 4y agoThe product side is all that matters here. If Google cannot productize it, then all they did was do other people's homework for them. And it increasingly looks like Google has zero plan for productizing it.
- sergiotapia 4y agoProduct is all that matters. You can have the world's best AI but if it's horrible to use who cares, right?

- mmahemoff 4y agoTo compete, Google has to disrupt its own product, which happens to be one of the most lucrative flywheels in history. It has everything to lose while MS has everything to gain by augmenting Bing and indeed its other products. That’s what makes it such a challenge for Google, despite being one of the few companies who can actually pull it off at a technical level. Both companies will also face legal issues, reputation risk (see MS’s Tay bot), and challenges scaling this tech to billions of non-paying users. MS has been more willing to march forward, Google had to be dragged into it by the competition.
