Truth About the AI Wars
The lead dev for Bard recently reminded Google employees that Bard is not Search.
He says:
“…it’s a creative companion to helping you be the sparkplug for imagination, explore your curiosity, etc."
Bard has been revamped into a thing titled “Search it” on Google.
And to steer more folks away from paying attention to it, he said! “But as you want to get into more of the search-oriented journeys, we already have a product for that — it’s called search.”
A full 60% of Google’s revenue is from ads on Search results pages, including shopping for product placement. They can’t afford to swap from a search model to an answer model.
On the other hand, Bing is owned by Microsoft. And the bulk of their revenue comes from their own products, like Office365 and such. So they want to get folks hooked on ChatGPT.
This is not an AI war. It’s a revenue model war.
Elon Musk was an original investor into OpenAI. And he meant for it to remain a non-profit.
He says it has now become a profit-hogging, closed project that is “too woke”.
So, now he’s thinking about starting his own AI company called Based AI that will be free and not so restrained in its political correctness, much like he tried to do with Twitter.
This sounds to me like he learned nothing from his time as the head of Twitter and just one more way to stroke his ego and keep him in the news. And another way to lose a wad of money.
