The fact that Google has an honestly enormous investment into AI for years invalidates this statement, probably the biggest of all players. Google has the skill to quickly produce a competitor, they have a lot of experience and capabilities in the ML-area. They were also so early that you can't frame them as a slow moving monopoly. An early investment and strong commitment does not guarantee for you to be the first, as we have seen with ChatGPT. But I think google can move so quickly that it won't matter much. This also means we are not yet in AI-Winter. Yeah!
