the astra video is exactly in the style of existing google ads. disembodied voice, POV camera. so we're desensitized to them. in contrast the openai videos all had engineers front and center, excited to show off their work.
not hard to explain... im sure theres more elements but this has to be the first principal component
- deanCommie 2y agoIt was also, on the theme that you mentioned, incredibly, unnecessarily horny. And Sama leaned into that, tweeting "her" yesterday -> https://twitter.com/sama/status/1790075827666796666 https://twitter.com/sama/status/1790075827666796666 I'm not trying to cancel anyone, it wasn't malicious, and it wasn't offensive. But it's definitely something, and not everyone's chill about it. But it's not a problem because Google doesn't compete with OpenAI (IMO). Google competes with Microsoft which will add all the necessary polish to de-hornify the OpenAI stuff for the corporate customers. Meanwhile the core OpenAI tech ultimately demos better and offers it's value proposition to a legion of startups better than Google. In summary, if you're an engineer of building on top of a model, OpenAI seems better. And if you're a CTO/CIO trying to pick a horse to sign an enterprise contract with, Google seems better.
