I think its about internet real estate. I.e. eyeballs / user to track.
If chatgpt can steal eyeballs from google or facebook (something that Bing has tried with no success for the last 10 years), it is existential treat to google or facebook, so they must react.
The same thing would have happen with VR. As soon as some company will succeed with VR, your would suddenly see a lot of VR companies.

That may well be true, but both Google and Facebook have been writing Open source AI software longer than OpenAI has been publishing papers. I find it hard to believe that everyone else is playing catch-up with OpenAI right now. I don't think a product like ChatGPT could even exist unless it was massively subsidized.
- dragonwriter 3y agoEveryone else is paying catchup, but only because incumbents had no incentive to productize research and cannibalize their own industry-leading offerings, until a non-incumbent was already doing the first and threatening the second. And mostly what they are catching up on is productization, not basic research.
