"That's just how it works" is trivially invalidated by looking at how it works beyond the walls of this particular corp, eg Bing. So all you're saying is that however the powers that be behave is how they ought to behave

I think this is something Bing had been planning for months, so they had time to do all this review in advance?

While Google was caught flat-footed and has had to rush this in response.

I'm basing this just on what I've read, of course.

And if that's the case, I don't think my explanation is invalidated at all, nor "trivially".

MS announced and shipped OpenAI / GPT based tech for years now

I don't know what product you are referring to that MS has shipped for years.

I'm referring to ChatGPT and Bing integration, which is very recent. That was a big surprise to everyone AFAIK.

"We’re finding ways to bring it into Azure and our mainstream products" "And in the same way that you type a question into a search engine and then get to decide which result to click on, GPT-3 returns multiple suggestions for Power Fx formulas."

They've been telegraphing this in the open for about 2 years

And I'm talking about this very specific new product needing legal review which takes time.

Not a general vague sense of AI investment. You can't do legal review on a generalized "direction", no matter how telegraphed you think it is.
