Google has done nothing but make another search engine, Apple has done nothing but make another phone, Ferrari has done nothing but make another car, etc.

The search engine was just a tool for their real product. Ads. Now, AI. They're so unconcerned about search that they are replacing it with Gemini answers.
Eh that’s not quite fair. Google isn’t wrapping a search engine. Apple isn’t selling slightly optimized versions of other manufacturers’ phones.

Cursor is a solid tool but as best I can tell there’s not a ton there.

They have their own models, though, and their code completion is basically magic. It's not just a UI around GPT.
