- xnx 3y agoTo take an example from the past month, billions of users are now benefiting from more accurate weather forecasts from their new model. Is there another company making more money from AI-powered products than Google right now?

- xnx 3y agoIt's a very fuzzy question I posed. For pure customer-pays-for-AI-service it could be Microsoft. I'm kind of thinking of it as: Google's core products (search, ads, YouTube, Gmail) would not be possible with AI and they are huge cash cows.
- shard 3y agoAre there people paying for Google's weather predictions?
- xnx 3y agoOnly indirectly, but I wanted to point out that there are a lot of interesting research innovations that get implemented by Google and not some other company.
