I'm sorry but I disagree. What I see here is a massive multibillion dollar company undergoing a tremendous technological transformation in front of our eyes.
Machine Learning is being embedded into most of their products to make those products increasingly capable and useful that is not easy for other companies to replicate.
Those products are becoming personal and learn about you to the point that they will know more about you than you... I realize that this can lead to a scary future, but lots of useful things do.
These capabilities might look underwhelming but they are simply mind blowing given type of problems being solved.
More importantly, this technology and infrastructure are being put in the hands of developers outside of Google, so more fascinating things are yet to come.
