"We believe having multiple partners, and in particular Google's API, would enable us to provide a better product to users," OpenAI told Google, according to an email shown at trial.
OpenAI first reached out in July, and Google declined the request in August, saying it would involve too many competitors, according to the email.
"We have no partnership with Google today," Turley said.
The DOJ's proposal to make Google share search data with competitors as one means of restoring competition would help accelerate efforts to improve ChatGPT, Turley said.
History would repeat itself and we'll be just switching the web from one behemoth (Microsoft IE) to another (Google Chrome) and yet another (OpenAI) [0].
Would be the worst outcome.
