Reply to comment by whothewildonesare in OpenAI releases GPT-4, a multimodal AI that it claims is state-of-the-art by donnygel

Because the entirety of Google doesn't work in LaMDA. It's likely that both companies assign a similar number of employees and similar funds to their respective AI. Also don't forget that OpenAI receives a huge amount of money from Microsoft. And in addition to that, Google announced LaMDA in 2021, when OpenAI had already years in development in language models.

Keep in mind as well that Google was completely blindsided by this whole event. Sundar is a horrible CEO and this never should have happened. This might finally be the thing that kicks him, IMO he should already be fired but Google of all companies missing the boat on LLM is absolutely insane to me.

So Google can pretend it's just taking it's time but the reality is they've pulled thousands of developers from other projects to race Bard and Lamda to the finish line.

OpenAI and Microsoft have been working this apparently for over 5 years. Google can only go so fast to catch up and I have doubts their language models are as sophisticated as openai's.
