It's undeniable—LLMs (Large Language Models) are now a formidable challenger to Google's search dominion. While Google Search still holds its ground as the go-to in many scenarios, its dominance isn't as unshakable as it was a couple of years ago. There are now numerous instances where ChatGPT, Claude, or Perplexity provide more relevant results than Google Search. Moreover, these LLMs are evolving at an astonishing pace—far outstripping Google Search in terms of development speed.

Google possesses incredible engineering prowess, and the Gemini project has proven to be extremely potent. However, adapting their business model to accommodate LLMs demands a level of vision and capability from their management that we've not witnessed from Google's executive ranks in quite some time. I'm not ready to write Google off entirely because of their potential, but I've grown skeptical of their current leadership. I remain open to being pleasantly surprised, though.

PS: My personal experience with the Gemini project has been stellar. It's enabled me to produce high-quality code, underscoring that Google still has much to offer—provided its leadership can effectively leverage its resources.
