My armchair answer to that question is that Google isn’t a product company.
They might have had similar or better technical AI capabilities, but they aren’t great at productizing it.
- sixothree 3y agoThe one thing that most defines Google products is that each one must collect data from the user in a way that is unique to their other products. If it doesn’t do that it doesn’t get to exist.
- s_dev 3y ago>Google isn’t a product company. I disagree. Google does have great products, Google Maps, Search, GMail etc.
