When/how will Google Chrome respond to Comet?

1•moltenice•21h ago
I have been thinking hard on this since the last couple of days. I think they should respond in the next 60-70 days (but thats slow in AI war).

I even ran an AI debate to figure out what are my blind spots to this.

1. Its not a flip switch for them due to the huge userbase. (big change in UX)

2. Wait for the feature set to mature then pick the important ones and hammer the market.

But if they don't react in the next couple of months - they will start seeing their userbase drop.

Typically, people don't change out their browser/app. I know there is a vanguard of loyalty-fluid users out there but the reality is product inertia is real.

Myself for example, will continue to use Chrome even though I have a half dozen browsers installed for testing. So an AI augmented browser interests me about as much as an AI integrated laptop. That is not at all.

However, having said that, I think Google's biggest threat is that people can typically get better, ad free answers from chatGPT for many queries and people will switch (at least I will) to a new source of better information.

Ads were non-intrusive anyways. And with their AI mode - they are bringing the gap.

If you break into the browser, tremendous data points to improve the models. but then the counter argument is that - will browser be the interface in the future or conversational interfaces will get things done.
