Maybe a basking shark filtering masses plankton but it’s no great white.

A great white would have launched a GPT api competitor far earlier and recognised the search replacement use case.

GPT3 came out in 2020. People had used it as a search like function in 2020, we’re coming up to 3 years and only now they’ve acted to then bum rush into a competitor that’s demo tanked the stock?

I do agree with you here.

There is a small smell of "we want to build this" vs "we should buy that"
