There's a huge amount of criticism for Sundar on Hacker News (seemingly from Googlers, ex-Googlers, and non-Googlers), but I give huge credit for Google's "code red" response to ChatGPT. I count at least 19 blog posts and YouTube videos from Google relating to the Gemini update today. While Google hasn't defeated (whatever that would mean) OpenAI yet, the way that every team/product has responded to improve, publicize, and utilize AI in the past year has been very impressive.
Your metric for AI innovation is…number of blog posts?
Definitely not, but I'm impressed that 175,000 person organization could amp-up its public efforts so dramatically.
I'm not sure if you are being sarcastic, but that's something I would expect a big organization to be particularly good at.
Quite literally almost all the criticism of Sundar is that he is ALL narrative and very little delivery. You illustrated that further... lots of narrative around GPT3.5 equivalent launch and maybe 4 in the future.
