>”Google is silently winning the AI race.”

It’s not surprising. What was surprising honestly was how they were caught off guard by OpenAI. It feels like in 2022 just about all the big players had a GPT-3 level system in the works internally, but SamA and co. knew they had a winning hand at the time, and just showed their cards first.



True and their first mover advantage still works pretty well. Despite "ChatGPT" being a really uncool name in terms of marketing. People remember it because they were the first to wow them.


How is ChatGPT bad in terms of marketing? It's recognizable and rolls off the tongue in many many many languages.

Gemini is what sucks from a marketing perspective. Generic-ass name.


Generative Pre-trained Transformer is a horrible term to have an acronym for.


Do you think the mass market thinks GPT is an acronym? It's just a name. Currently synonymous with AI.

Ask anyone outside the tech bubble about "Gemini" though. You'll get astrology.


True I guess they treat it just like SMS.

I still think they'd have taken off more if they'd given it a catchy name from the start and made the interface a bit more consumer friendly.


It feels more authentically engineer-coded.
