Before AI, people complained that Google was taking world class engineering talent and using it for little more than selling people ads. But look at that example. With this new frontier of AI, that world class engineering talent can finally be put to use…for product placement. We’ve come so far. | ||

> finally be put to use…for product placement. Did you think that Google would just casually allow their business to be disrupted without using the technology to improve the business and also protecting their revenue? Both Meta and Google have indicated that they see Generative AI as a way to vertically integrate within the ad space, disrupting marketing teams, copyrighters, and other jobs who monitor or improve ad performance. Also FWIW, I would suspect that the majority of Google engineers don't work on an ad system, and probably don't even work on a profitable product line. | ||

I am pretty sure a lot of said engineering talent isn't actually contributing to AI but doing other stuff | ||
