ChatGPT Hype/Vapourware (and 'Bing') Has Failed, Google Maintains Dominance in Search
"Open" "AI" is not open, it does not do "AI", and it's a growing mountain of debt and crises (bankruptcy expected next year because no solid prospects of turnaround exist)
THIS year a lot of Bing staff got laid off. There were also Bing shutdowns and relocations - that's how severe things were (not that the media covered it; it barely or very rarely did). Looking at statistics from statCounter, e.g. for 12 months, Google did not lose its dominance since the ChatGPT media spam or chaff campaign had begun roughly a year ago (trying to get people to think it was an amazing, revolutionary thing by re-announcing it like 5 times; people realised it was "nothing to see here, move along"). Breaking down the share of Bing by nations, it seems apparent Bing is used by nobody in some places.
Here's the data. We're not celebrating a Google monopoly here (Google hired way too many Microsofters, even Microsoft trolls like Matthew J Garrett). But Microsoft's frustration and resort to defamation campaigns might be connected to a lack of hope, except defrauding shareholders with a pump-and-dump scheme based on vapourware (sugar-coated with buzzwords like "Clown", "Hey Hi", and "Azure"). Microsoft has no products to show, so it's rebranding existing ones, including "Bing Chat" (which almost nobody ever used). It also uses the hype to bribe officials and let Microsoft's crime carry on.
ChatGPT will probably crash and burn also because of lawsuits. ChatGPT is just a massive plagiarism engine. Skip the buzzwords and cargo cults; all those LLMs are akin to "web3" and "blockchain" - we no longer hear of them, do we? Remember NFTs? █
