It looks more like a re-org to show to investors Google is doing something to fix this. "let's combine departments and move people around".
Google is a technical company and they have not had much use of LLM as a technical feature in any of their products. Honestly, what is the use of LLM other than write your essays and summarize web info? For technical nerds, LLM is boring.
Google is approaching this very consumer-oriented (Apple-esque) LLM model with a very technical genius mindset. And this is incredibly miscalculated. The kinds of advances from DeepMind research and Brain research is a puzzle piece of advancement that needs a good product development to seam together. I doubt DeepMind founder has this talent.
It needs to first accept LLM is NLP on steroids. And it is way behind on the magical consumer-oriented technology. Then develop further research for a reasonable product in a year. In the meantime, start giving more technical information without the nice language skills as search results (similar to what it is doing today, but on a broader scale). Let users enjoy this feature, while they use ChatGPT LLM for their office documents.
