Microsoft’s AI dominance is thrilling their fans

It’s too early to tell how Microsoft will ultimately fare in the AI search war it started with Google. Both companies have now rolled out their AI-infused search offerings, though Microsoft’s new Bing, the result of its partnership with OpenAI, which made ChatGPT, has gotten the lion’s share of the attention and praise. Google’s Bard chatbot, on the other hand, has so far been a disappointment.

This has put Microsoft in a position that we are used to seeing Google in: on the cutting edge.

It has also put Google on its heels. The search giant currently looks like an also-ran with an inferior product. Microsoft has found itself in that position all too often since Google’s early 2000s rise, which would ultimately allow it to dominate the internet. So now Microsoft’s having a rare moment in the sun, and at Google’s expense.
