Too little too late, and even the wrong focus topic to survive as a company. Google is done. No one cares anymore what google does, its either inferior to alternatives and/or on the graveyard soon anyways. Time to move on.

these takes are so absolutely absurd imho they invalidate the authors opinion.
> No one cares anymore what google does

Try to entirely avoid any of Google's products, including the search bar, Chrome and Android for 5 years, and I bet you will touch a Google product at least once.

The death of Google has been greatly exaggerated by OpenAI's marketing snake oil.

4 months after ChatGPT is "too little too late"? Where does this entitlement come from?
There were like at least 60 LLama and alpaca releases in the last 3 weeks! Google needs to be at least 3x better!!
No, they don't. They're still the world's most visited page [citation needed] if they start to automatically integrate Bard into every search they have their 99% of market share even with an inferior model.

They have a few more years to pull that off.

Not everyone is an ML enthusiast. All these model releases mean absolutely nothing to the public. They need a product, not a Github repository, not a CLI or API.

And from what I see, none of these models are as good as ChatGPT so what's the point of counting them?

Crazy to say about a company with nearly ten products with over a billion active users.
Google could literally survive just providing work email and nothing else
