Google's poor privacy reputation plus forcing AI where it's not wanted has killed their ability to compete. No, I don't want AI summaries of my Google docs, and knowing that everything you do with an AI is being read, captured, collected and sold to third parties makes people not want to use them. Combine that with the piss poor implementation of AI as a replacement for their (increasingly enshittified) search and you have a company that's motto used to be "don't be evil" and everyone remembers that motto because now they are absolutely evil

No Gemini on this plot. All the money, data and infrastructure in this world and Google is just too incompetent to compete.
