I'm not sure if you're being serious or not, but I'm going to assume serious and write a serious response. Having PhDs or doing research does not equal the ability to create products people want to use and/or pay for. History has shown us time and time again there are some people who are amazing at creating original and groundbreaking research and other people who are amazing at turning research into money making, people-pleasing products. See all the research that came out of Xerox PARC which ended up doing nothing for Xerox and everything for Apple (and other companies). Google has been spending a fortune on research in AI for 15+ years and, if anything, the company's main product (Search) has only gotten worse! They have been second, third best, or moribund in mobile phones, cloud computing, videogames, social media, and many others I've forgotten. Now I'm not sure what the moral of the story here is but I can say it definitely isn't that doing the most research equals success because it clearly isn't that! I'd say it's probably a culture issue and also a motivation issue (which are clearly related). You're sitting on a money printing machine, employees all earning 350k+ per year, in an office filled with bean-bags, gourmet food, and living a chill life with nice and comfortable working hours... where is the motivation and drive to try and build a really innovative and amazing new product? "Sounds like a lot of work man..." It surprises me little that OpenAI beat them to the punch.
