And something as messaging apps require neither. Yet Google can’t bring a decent one to market and introduced three incompatible products in one year even though it has the worlds most popular mobile operating system.

What profitable products have all of their brilliance abd money brought to the world outside of adTech?

It came out in the Oracle trial that Android only made Google a total of around $23 billion in profit total by 2016. All indication is that Google pays more to Apple to be the default search engine on iOS than it makes on Android.

Again, I agree they are incapable of creating products. I just think that entry barrier for AI is so much higher that Google has a decent chance.

Amazon or Airbnb could be started in a garage by a small group of enthusiasts. Something like ChatGPT (or Chrome) cannot. Hopefully I'm wrong.
