You can see this even with Google vs Microsoft/OpenAI. Google had their LLM chat-bot working internally (remember the ethics guy who got fired because he was so convinced that the chatbot had a soul?), but they clearly thought that the level of hallucinations at the time would be bad publicity as all the news would be "Google's chatbot spews nonsense!". But OpenAI and Bing had nothing to lose, they could launch them with no expectations of quality, taking Google by surprise, and now everyone just says Google was behind instead and had to scramble to catch up. Same thing with Apple - if Apple had launched Siri with GPT-3.0 before ChatGPT, they would have been a laughing stock with how bad it was. But instead now they're behind, even though the competing products are STILL unsuitable.
