It is amazing how this crowd in HN reacts to AI news coming out of OpenAI compared to other competitors like Google or FB. Today there was another news about Google releasing their AI in GCP and mostly the comments were negative. The contrast is clearly visible and without any clear explanation for this difference I have to suspect that maybe something is being artificially done to boost one against the other. As far as this results are concerned I do not understand what is the big deal in a computer scoring high in tests where majority of the questions are in MCP format. It is not something earth shaking until it goes to the next stage and actually does something on its own.

There's not anyone rooting for Google to win; it's lost a whole lot of cred from technical users, and with the layoffs and budget cuts (and lowered hiring standards) it doesn't even have the "we're all geniuses changing the world at the best place to work ever" cred. OpenAI still has some mystique about it and seems to be pushing the envelope; Google's releases seem to be reactive, even though Google's actual technical prowess here is probably comparable.
You're aware of that the reputation of Google and Meta/Facebook isn't anymore stellar among the startup and tech crowd in 2023? It's not anymore 2006.
even the freenode google group was patronising and unhelpful towards small startups as far back as 2012 from personal experience
Yeah, the younger generation has (incorrectly) concluded that client states of Microsoft are better.

At least Microsoft understands backwards compatibility and developer experience...
OpenAI put ChatGPT out there in a way where most people on HN have had direct experience with it and are impressed. Google has not released any AI product widely enough for most commentators here to have experience with it. So OpenAI is openly impressive and gets good comments; as long as Google's stuff is just research papers and inaccessible vaporware it can't earn the same kudos.
