Google vs Microsoft: The good, bad, and ugly of the AI arms race - TechTalks

The past weeks have seen escalating competition between Microsoft and Google over large language models--or more precisely put, Google trying hard to protect its search business against Microsoft and OpenAI's large language models. The two tech giants are in an intensifying tug of war over how we will access information in the future, matching research with research, product with product, and investment with investment. Since OpenAI released ChatGPT in November, there has been a lot of speculation about the large language model's killer application(s). One of the topics brought up again and again is ChatGPT and other LLMs making Google Search obsolete. I'm still sticking to my previous argument that something like ChatGPT will replace Google Search.
