Alphabet probably has more IP on ML than any group on the planet. There's the Deepmind and AlphaGo, AlphaZero, and AlphaFold but much more practically I can type a sentence into Chrome and get a page for of useful and general correct lines that provide what I want. It would be trivial for Google to summarize the results in some sort of written form instead of a list of links to other places. They could have done that a decade ago.

The current state of the first 10 results on a google search is quite sorry. It's 5 irrelevant ads and 5 SEO-autogenerated sites (probably using GPT3 in the first place). Try it with any kind of IT-problem or IT-product review question. No amount of AI is going to summarize that load of crap into anything better. This is googles problem. The underlying abstraction of knowledge is going to change - knowledge has to be built and served while severely filtering away "noise" up to 90%. Maybe their traditional algos can do this, maybe it requires GPT+++, but it is broken as it is now and has been for more than a year.

I think you're confusing wanting someone to do something for you for free and for billions of people with something that can give you good enough 80% of the time and also make money while doing it.
