10 years is way too long for Google. It will be gone in 5 replaced by 3 other AI cloud services.

You're right. How naive of me.

I mean Bard barely lasted a year. Arguably Gemini is just a rebrand of Bard, but Bard is still dead.

If you look at web traffic when making Gemini web requests, you'll see that Bard is still in the URL (so are LaMDA (pre-bard) and Assistant (pre-GenAI)):

That's interesting! I wonder how many parts of their other dead projects are used in current projects.

Bing Chat suffered the same fate

[abustamam]

Tbh I never even heard of that!

Didn't they also just shut down Vertex and Gemini APIs to launch a new unified API this week?

[malnourish]

I can't find any news about this. That's not wholly unusual given the context. Do you have a link?

Finally that turf war ends
