Thought 1:
If google can get their shit together and actually integrate their LLM with all their services and all the data they have they would have a strong edge over the competition. An LLM that can answer questions based on your calendar, your email, your google docs, youtube/search history, etc. is simultaneously terrifying and interesting.
Of course there's also microsoft who does have some popular services, but they're pretty limited.
Thought 2:
How do these companies make money if everyone just uses the chatbot to access them? Is LLM powered advertising on the way?

- beambot 4y agoGoogle is currently in an existential crisis on this front... Microsoft is already way ahead of the game when it comes to integrating LLMs into productivity tools & search. This recent product announcement about Microsoft 365 integration is almost magical: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bf-dbS9CcRU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bf-dbS9CcRU Best of all: Advertising needn't be the business model! And Microsoft is a major investor / partner for OpenAI.
