The problem with Google is very simple: they have become entirely incapable of creating new products (specifically: stuff that people actually want).

Most of the tech. that underpins OpenAI's stuff has been invented at Google, and quite a long time ago.

They've been sitting on it, not doing anything with it, and even when their most direct competitor comes to take a huge pound of flesh out using stuff they created, all they manage to do is put out a lame subpar competitor (bard).

Things this situation evokes for me:

   - Google plus

   - Kodak

   - Xerox


But Microsoft can create new products?
