This article is laughable. Google already has Meena and Lambda which are the same thing and arguably superior.

ChatGPT will not result in a trillion dollar business. In the event that a paid ChatGPT for say, $5/monthly resulted in a 10+ billion dollar business, Google would within the same year simply do the same with Meena or Lambda (make it paid and copy whatever UI/UX ChatGPT or other are using). Look how quickly Shorts copied TikTok. Google may not be good at innovating, but they would copy it in short order.

The biggest threat to Google's business is Apple, and walled gardens like TikTok, Facebook, Discord, Reddit, etc. Too many communities are not allowing their information to be indexed, or are not properly so, which results in Google being less valuable. That is, and continues to be Google's main problem.

Questions people are asking each other on Reddit, Discord or Facebook about what phone to buy are questions they are not asking Google, and that costs Google money. It's as simple as that.
