Look at past news from Google. My bet is that Google has been sitting on their AI for years, tuning it getting it consumer ready. My bet is that they can release something better than Bing very quickly if needed.

For example, the news from last year about the Google AI tester that claimed Lambda was sentient.

Google knew exactly that Bing's chatbot would fail like this when exposed to consumers.

The difference between Google and Microsoft is expectations. If Google released a chatbot like Bing it would have been brand damaging. For Microsoft it's just another bad consumer experience over the years.

Agreed. Out of all the tech companies they have the best assistant which was key to the smart home.

However, 4 years ago Google demoed Lambda scheduling an appointment with an unsuspecting human. It was amazing. I have to believe Google has the tech in Lambda when they are ready to make it public in an assistant.

Understood. The point is it's not difficult for Google to pivot here as Google has the share of endpoints for an assistant. Google obviously has the technology with Lambda.

Here is the difference between Open AI and Google. Open AI can afford to have bad responses and potential racist responses being generated. Google can not. I would imagine Google is busy tuning out all the potential brand damaging responses prior to unleashing it's Lambda capabilities into their assistant.
