Their revenue stream isn’t based on ads.

MS will win simply because as we get AI assistants - ad viewing will go down. How does google show me an ad if I’m not going to google and instead asking the same question to clippy and getting a legit, good answer back?

The key is asking good questions. Include things like “include a list of sources where your data came from and can be verified” or things like that.

Yup and this could easily be replaced on Microsoft's end.

Bing, Microsoft office, Android (these apps all work best on Android and Google legally probably can't block them lol), and Outlook.

Currently they don't see the adoption because it's easier to stay in the Google ecosystem for most people (myself included). If GPT sees right integration into them all however, this could significantly improve their value over what Google has if Google doesn't respond appropriately.

I focused on Mobile here but now that I think about it I'm not sure Microsoft even cares that much about mobile as most of their income comes from businesses.

Google search, Google docs, Andorid, Gmail. Almost everything else is a pain in the ass to use. TensorFlow vs Pytorch, Angular vs React and maybe even Kubernetes vs something I'm not aware of. Remember Google Plus, Google Glass all of their labs products they abandonded? They're not great at delivering consumer products. Not to mention their search, youtube and maps etc is just of full ad driven bloat now

You could overcome this by not killing them at the end of the simulation but instead you upload them into robotic bodies and let them live in and experience the real world. They can also take responsibility for maintaining their real world bodies and fitting into society. They pretty much have the same chance of surviving as any non simulated people.

Well, there is no such thing as personal assistent. That is why all big companies will cut off their employees from using this tool.

An AI assistant is still connected to the provider, whatever information you give it, ends up at in their data bank.

Amazon is already ordering employees to stop ChatGTP, for it doesn't want the inner workings of amazon exposed to the competitor Microsoft.

In the grand scope of things, AI will probably not be used as a tool to aid humans in their jobs. It is aimed to replace humans, take away all jobs, eventually.

Yes they are letting people sign up for early access.

Two of the three "types" they let you use dont even let you type free word responses. It generates 5 responses to choose from. I usually dont like any of them.

The one type that lets you type responses to as if its chat gpt doesnt understand 1/10 of what chat gpt does.

I'm thrilled to see how that plays out.

ChatGPT might have first to market advantage. People got to know it and its quirks.

But Google's LLMs might be bigger and better, we just don't know, given they haven't released anything yet.

My hunch is Google has the first adopter advantage, but was internally scared of LLMs potential for disrupting their main revenue stream (ad clicks while searching and finding), and also of the political implications of non sanitized responses, and have been busy trying to trim inappropriate ones.

Something that, let's notice, ChatGPT might also have an advantage over them as well, by releasing it earlier and enduring public criticism and scrutiny for longer.

I think intelligence is in the language, mostly, of course there are other forms of intelligence as well. Yet most of it is not in the brain, or in the AI, but in language. The corpus of everything said and written, all knowledge, science, technology, systems of thinking. A human growing without language would not be very intelligent.

So an AI would be intelligent in the same way a human is - by becoming inhabited by language. Does that make AIs and simulated beings any less than us?

I think whoever releases their model as a smartphone app that includes an option for voice synthesis will win.
A model that's slightly more agentic than chatgpt (sparrow seems to be), with a solid voice (think elevenlabs), and available on your phone = winner.
Google seems like they're in a better position to ultimately provide that at scale.
But if their plan this year is to release a slightly better version of AI kitchen, then it's no contest.. people will just keep using ChatGPT.
