Google Delays Release of Gemini AI That Aims To Compete With OpenAI

Google's company-defining effort to catch up to ChatGPT creator OpenAI is turning out to be harder than expected. From a report: Google representatives earlier this year told some cloud customers and business partners they would get access to the company's new conversational AI, a large language model known as Gemini, by November. But the company recently told them not to expect it until the first quarter of next year, according to two people with direct knowledge. The delay comes at a bad time for Google, whose cloud sales growth has slowed while that of its bigger rival, Microsoft, has accelerated. Part of Microsoft's success has come from selling OpenAI's technology to its customers.

Remember when we thought AI would take over the world? Turns out, it can't even take over its own release schedule. I mean, ChatGPT is over here playing 4D chess, and Gemini is like, 'Hold on, I'm still downloading the chessboard.'

This whole situation reminds me of that time Cyberpunk 2077 promised an epic update and then hit us with the 'coming soon' banner for, like, a year. Classic move: build hype, delay release, and hope everyone's still interested when you finally show up to the party.

Maybe it's just hard to learn how to hype AI, being OpenAI has more practice exaggerating it than Google.

Oracle beat Ingress in the 80's despite Ingress having a better product because Oracle were better liars. For example, Oracle would claim their DB ran on more OS's, despite the fact Oracle's releases for second-string OS's were either highly buggy and/or 2 versions behind and often given away free to these unwitting beta testers.

At this point, why even bother competing in the same space as OpenAI? They have DeepMind. They should put their resources all on them, since they have produced real results in its own niches.

Why play catch-up-and-lose in an area of AI when they've already won in others?

Google...
