Google's problem isn't lack of engineering talent, it's the absence of competent management. Gemini could be far ahead of GPT-4 or whatever OpenAI comes out with next. It won't matter unless they actually build a profitable business around running an AI. This should be feasible, but so far there's no indication of this happening. The infrastructure is there. The institutional knowledge and engineering talent is there. Google can do this if they return to their core mission statement: "To organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful." This is in contrast to their current objective, which from the outside seems to be "To maximize next quarter's ad revenue." I would love to see a return of the old Google. No amount of engineering skill will make up for clueless management.
