What's the point of this article besides free propaganda? It seems to me like every other AI shop except for OpenAI and possibly Anthropic only gets mentioned once they actually release something.
When I had some mild success with my first startup in the UK, I got flooded by news organisations offering "premium publication content" --- basically pay us a big chunk of cash to write a positive article on your company.
I was surprised at the number and calibre of orgs that came to me who would basically say anything I wanted for cash, this opened my eyes a lot and made me very suspicious of published media.
Probably because OpenAI is the best at this than any other player in the game. They’re on their way to replacing Google as the #1 search engine. Instead of “google it” it’s going to be “gpt it”, and we all know who “gpt” is.
For me the AI seems to actually understand the meaning of my search term and is usually accurate and helpful. It is an improvement over how bad Google had become when it randomly deleted search terms.
Hmm... it doesn't jump for me. There's a fixed amount of space reserved at the top of the screen and the AI overview loads into that. It only expands if you press the "Show more" button.
For OpenAI at least, it's obvious. They are considered the industry leader at this point and are the most widely used LLM that folks are aware of (arguably, Google's 'in search' summarization is the most widely used).
People get excited on an update in such a rapidly changing space. It really is that simple.
