Their ad revenue is a local optimum. They could reach new highs with alternate business models but only at the cost of short term reduction in revenue from ads. And this is of course risky. So, they keep on dancing around the topic without ever committing to anything. An additional problem they have is that running AI at scale is super expensive. Even for Google. Add to that legal risks, pressure from regulators in different countries, privacy concerns, copyright issues, etc. and you get a whole lot of risk and friction. Add to that the usual organizational infighting and politics and you pretty much have a company incapable of doing anything. |
