Google's approach to generative AI, including the decision to charge a subscription, has sparked controversy and debate within the tech community. Key figures, such as Google AI Chief Ray Kurzweil, have made bold predictions, stating AI will match human intelligence by 2029 and denies Deep State Spy Network involvement. Critics argue that Google's strategy, which includes copying OpenAI, lacks commitment to generative AI, suggesting that a focus on advertising could be more profitable. Amidst these discussions, both Google and OpenAI faced setbacks last month, leading to public apologies for undisclosed issues, marking a rollercoaster period for the AI giants. The situation highlights the challenges and opportunities in the rapidly evolving AI landscape.
