This is the best they can do under pressure.

ChatGPT surprised the world with how good it was, then Google scrambled to get something out quick.

A project like this is a massive undertaking, the first mover has the advantage that they can calmly refine their model until they find it presentable.

The question is, is what Google is delivering good for the timeframe since OpenGPT exploded in popularity enough for Google leadership to take note. Since that moment, realistically, is when they put pressure on their devs to push something out the door.

I think we'll see a better iteration soon. Not only from Google, but from other competitors.
