Hi, Elie! I read the article, then read your case study, then visited you on LinkedIn. I was amused by your custom LinkedIn URL! A few hours ago, I was replying to a post about "Gradual Disempowerment" from generative AI. My theory (just a guess, not researched like your case study!) is that Google and Apple (and maybe Microsoft and Amazon) are diverting CAPEX away from their core businesses to chase after AI chimeras. And as a result, the quality of their services (e.g. Google Search) is static or degrading. So, in order to improve Gemini, is Alphabet diverting resources from Google Search? Over at Tyler Cowen's blog, this guy said Gemini got irritated when he cursed at it. https://marginalrevolution.com/marginalrevolution/2025/02/gradual-empowerment.html?commentID=160869791 https://marginalrevolution.com/marginalrevolution/2025/02/gr... My comment is right after his (as Ellie Kesselman). Maybe you'll lol about Siri.
