I’m curious to hear why Google isn’t going to win in this AI arms race.
The way I see it, Google:
* is effectively the gateway to the internet, owning the most popular website in the world, mobile OS, and browser
* has infinite LIVE data, both unstructured and structured (knowledge graph)
* has infinite compute resources
* employs the world’s best AI scientists and invests heavily in AI
* has decade(s) of experience in AI products
* has one of the most popular suit of apps already in people’s hands (gmail, calendar, maps, docs, YT, drive, wallet, photos etc etc)
* is a popular cloud provider (which is another vector, ie platformizing AI)
* has infinite money
* is probably the most well positioned company to actually monetize AI
Honestly I don’t see why HN seems to think it’s over for Google. Outside of tech, most people have never heard of ChatGPT or Bing. Everyone on the planet knows Google.
