I haven't followed that closely, but Gemini seems like a pivot based on ChatGPT's market success Google is leading in terms of fundamental technology, but not in terms of products They had the LLambda chatbot before that, but I guess it was being de-emphasized, until ChatGPT came along Social was a big pivot, though that wasn't really due to Pichai. That was while Larry Page was CEO and he argued for it hard. I can't say anyone could have known beforehand, but in retrospect, Google+ was poorly conceived and executed --- I also believe the Nth Google chat app was based on WhatsApp success, but I can't remember the name now Google Compute Engine was also following AWS success, after initially developling Google App Engine | ||

>I haven't followed that closely, but Gemini seems like a pivot based on ChatGPT's market success "AI" in it's current form is already a massive threat to Google's main business (I personally use Google only a fraction of what I used to), so this pivot is justified. | ||

Is it really such a pivot when they invested a lot in AI already? They bought DeepMind in 2014 and always showed of a ton of AI research. | ||
