I think comparing them now is probably not that useful outside of this AI hype train. Like comparing two children. A lot can happen.

Video models are interesting, and to some extent trying to imagine which company is gonna eat the other’s lunch is kind of interesting, but sometimes that’s all people are interested in and I can see my girlfriend's reasoning for being disinterested in such discussion.

Although I did not work in AI, I did work at Google X robotics on a robot they often use for AI research.
Maybe some people felt like it was a competition, but I don’t have much reason to believe that feeling is common. AI researchers are literally in collaboration with other people in the field, publishing papers and reading the work of others to learn and build upon it.
When OpenAI suddenly stopped publishing their stuff I bet that many researchers now started feeling like it started to be a competition.
OpenAI is no longer cooperating, they are just competing. They still haven't said anything about how gpt-4 works.
