The ChatGPT Hype Is Over—Now Watch How Google Will Kill ChatGPT

It’s occurring. OpenAI’s losing the AI race.

Remember those days when ChatGPT was everyone’s subject of conversation? Yes, you do.

Remember those days when BeReal was everywhere? Yes, you do.

Remember those days when Vine was the most popular app? Uh, maybe?

What about when YikYak was everyone’s app? Yik-what?

Go back to high school. There’s usually that popular girl in school for a few years. Ten years later, you’ll probably think, “Gosh, I haven’t heard that name in years.”

There are no hypes that stay forever. Every single firm or initiative will decline one day or another.

Yes, WhatsApp won’t be used forever.

Apple is going to be history.

Teslas are going to be auctioned as antiques.

On the one hand, if you’re working on a product, buzz is what you’re looking for.

On the other side, you will have an immense issue dealing with the “post-hype.”

I’ve produced a post discussing how Google Bard will demolish ChatGPT since it’s a long-term game, and Google has the upper hand in terms of market domination. ChatGPT has a superior offering, but it doesn’t imply they’ll win the long race.

This was quite the hot story, reaching 178,000 people. There were quite the conflicting sentiments regarding it. Some agreed that Google had the upper hand. Others say that ChatGPT has a “first-mover advantage.”

Now let’s restart the chat. Ever since then, Google has been working and waiting for the buzz to dissipate. Their stock has been on the rise since many believe in their AI investments.

Finally, OpenAI took a couple of steps that made me assume that they’re leaning further toward the losing side of the competition. Let me elaborate; it’ll be fun.

Google’s Actions In The AI Race

They hurried to build Bard, and it was (and still is) not equivalent to ChatGPT. I used both of them several times. They’re comparable, but if I had to pick, I’d choose ChatGPT at the present.

Google’s storehouse of information is still the competitive advantage in play. But they’re not actually using it very effectively. Yet, in time, it’ll be better.

Google is going all in. They’re working on another AI product, Gemini AI, that is purportedly as good as GPT-4. We’ll have to wait and see. It should be published at the end of the year.

So what happens to Bard? Bard, in my view, was a wonderfully introduced strategic product. It was more of a forceful gesture. Google wants to convey to all its investors and the globe that they’re highly involved in the AI race.

But no decent product is hurried. Now that the excitement is past, they’re beginning the serious job. The freak-out and red alert have gone, kind of.

Aside from Gemini, which I have great expectations for, there’s NotebookLM—an AI notebook utilized in the educational sector. That, in my perspective, is an ed-tech game-changer.

Think of it this way: if you truly wanted to make an effect with AI, then you’d seriously think about tapping into the educational sector. Google accomplished it brilliantly. ChatGPT, on the other hand, we’ll get to it in a minute.

Let’s have a look at the search patterns of ChatGPT (and Bard).

There’s practically no similarity between both of them. But if you look carefully, you’ll discover that ChatGPT is beginning to fall. It had peaked for months, and now people became weary of talking about it.

If you do assume that Bard was a purposefully positioned product that solely targets as a shield against the damage Google would suffer from the ChatGPT hoopla, then it did quite a fantastic job.

Now let’s speak about ChatGPT and OpenAI.

OpenAI’s Actions In The AI Race

They’ve invented the product of the decade, in my view. I would suggest that such hype nearly never occurs. I’m sure that Sam Altman, OpenAI’s CEO (who, by the way, has quite the tale), understood that the day when the enthusiasm would fade would arrive.

OpenAI has always been more of a scientist rather than a marketeer. They merely focus on building quite a decent product with no strings attached. So when they began building ChatGPT, there was a sector of individuals who had big complaints. Can you guess who I’m talking about?

Professors and instructors in the educational realm. I’ll recall you when I stated that Google’s wisely working on an AI notebook that has access to the data you supply, not the global internet data (this is really significant).

Now when academics began to protest about ChatGPT, what OpenAI did was that they built a text classifier, which informs the public if the material is most likely AI-written or not.

I had a significant difficulty with this in terms of eyesight. How could you be an AI firm that is producing a smart chatbot with language that sounds like people but then notifies the public whether it’s AI or human? It sounded like a warped image.

But then something occurred that was fascinating—they stopped working on the AI classifier and rendered it “unavailable.”

They shut it down (maybe temporarily, but it has been quite a time).

So this is how the educational discourse is currently going.

Teacher: “What the heck is going on? Everyone’s utilizing AI bots. How are we going to teach them properly?”

ChatGPT: “Well, we launched an AI text identifier for you to know which students are using AI.”

Teacher: “Great!”

ChatGPT: “Oh, wait, nah, it’s not going to work out. We’re canceling it.”

Teacher: “???”

Google: “We’re creating a notebook AI that you could upload content to. So that kids would be utilizing AI, but just on the topic you choose.”

I’ll circle back to the start of this post—the business game is always in the long haul, not a one-year hype.

Finally, OpenAI took one more step that many regard as being ready for a crash of the hype—they created ChatGPT Enterprise.

Don’t get me wrong; beginning a B2B product is usually beneficial in their scenario. There are rumors that ChatGPT is producing a billion dollars a year. So you can understand how an enterprise business model might treble this.

But the reality is, ChatGPT is far from ready to become an enterprise tool like Salesforce or Slack. To this day, I consider this (and all other AI chatbots) to be an experimental product.

It’s quite a daring move to sell to corporations at this point. But they may pull it off. Whether they hit it off or not, it does not alter the fact that Google is now an official contender in the AI race.

Their investors want them to succeed, and they’re purchasing more stocks.

Their items are expanding in demand, as usual. Hence, even with a product half as excellent as ChatGPT, Google will emerge triumphant in the long term.

They have the resources. They have the money. Now, they have the time.
