The bottleneck is clearly Google's hesitancy. ChatGPT is better because I can use it right now. I don't care how good the research demos are if I can't interact with them myself. Google has a track record of discontinuing products and having weird user/developer unfriendly policies. One of the most recent was Chrome's plan to force manifest v3. But many of the features promised to devs from v3 wouldn't have been ready by the time v3 was supposed to release. I would approach Google's AI stuff with similar hesitancy as I would have approached Stadia within the last few months before it shut down. Just like with Stadia, Google very clearly does not care to prioritize this kind of AI tech. Google failed to proofread its own ad about Bard. I can't understand how rushed they would have to be for something like that to happen. In my opinion, this is why new ChatGPT users are going to stay with ChatGPT, even as the aggressive filtering makes the output slightly worse as time goes on.
