They clearly have a better idea of the readiness of the tech than Microsoft, who hastily released Bing's LLM to muted ridicule. In terms of UI, ChatGPT is a glorified text box. The hard part is the basic research, which Google can grind away on in the background until the moment is right. The problem with current LLMs is that they are inaccurate and untrustworthy. If LLMs were search engines then ChatGPT is the Altavista or Ask Jeeves. Google wants to be the, well, Google - come in later with tech that actually works.
