Google in general looks like they're lost their touch and are kinda on a downward spiral. Trying to squeeze out as much as they can from Youtube is I think a major sign of that, usually attempts like that start to pop up in burnt-out companies that are heading to their end. As for AI they have a lot of world-class talent but they somehow cannot transform that into a coherent product even though they did amazing stuff on the research side. It has been brought up many times on HN on how Google has a product-design problem and it seems to be true.
