Frankly I don't know why Google continues to act this way. Let's remind the "Google Duplex: A.I. Assistant Calls Local Businesses To Make Appointments" story. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D5VN56jQMWM

Not that this affects Google's user base in any way, at the moment.

Unfortunately, that's because they have Wall St. analysts looking at their videos who will (indirectly) determine how big of a bonus Sundar and co takes home at the end of the year. Mistral doesn't have to worry about that.

This makes so much sense! Thanks
They obviously have both money and great talent. Maybe they put out minimal effort only for investors that expect their presence in consumer space?
