Yahoo, AOL, Alta Vista (others too) all were search engines on the web before Google's Sept 1998 existence.
- locusofself 2y agoLycos, Metacrawler, Dogpile. The list goes on
- ipaddr 2y agoSure, but we are talking ai and the fact that google was first in this space.
- paul7986 2y agoThe first in what? Not in search nor Generative AI.
- ipaddr 2y agoWhy would you think search. Google wasn't first for search. They were first for page rank Google researchers invented the transformer
- kettleballroll 2y agoWho if not Google was the first in generative ai? They invented transformers and diffusion, the cornerstones of text and image generati, respectively.
- Philpax 2y agoThey weren't the first to meaningfully commercialise either, though. That remains with OpenAI for both (GPT-3/ChatGPT and DALL-E 2).
