Google Bard enters open beta

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.
