You wouldn’t. It’s made to suck out investor money and show that google does something, not to actually bring value.

My crystal ball says it will be shutdown next year.

Most of the AI products are not for the end user, they are just signaling shareholders and possible investors that the company is on the hype.

This kind of cynicism is wild to me. Of course most AI products (and products in general) are for end users. Especially for a company like Google--they need to do everything they can to win the AI wars, and that means winning adoption for their AI models.

There is also mechanism inside Google that rewards teams that launches new products, more than the teams that actually maintain existing ones.

I know Google is quick to shut things down but these ultra-cynical ultra-skeptical HN takes are so tiresome at this point.

This is what Google is like though. It is practically part of their corporate DNA.

I do not believe that Google Antigravity is aimed at wooing investors. I believe it is intended to be a genuine superior alternative to Cursor and Kiro etc. and is attempting to provide the best AI coding experience for the average developer.

Most of the other people (so far) in this sub-thread do not think this. They essentially have a conspiratorial view on it.
