Its not over and never will be for 2 decade old accounting software, it is definitely will not be over for other AI labs.

Can you explain what you mean by this? iPhone was the end of Blackberry. It seems reasonable that a smarter, cheaper, faster model would obsolete anything else. ChatGPT has some brand inertia, but not that much given it's barely 2 years old.

Yeah iPhone was the end of Blackberry but Google Pixel was not the end of iPhone.

The new Gemini is not THAT far of a jump to switch your org to a new model if you already invested in e.g. OpenAI.

The difference must be night and day to call it "its over".

Right they all are marginally different. Today google fine tuned their model to be better, tomorrow it will be new Kimi, after that DeepSeek.

Ask yourself why Microsoft Teams won. These are business tools first and foremost.

That's an odd take. Teams doesn't have the leading market share in videoconferencing, Zoom does. I can't judge what it's like because I've never yet had to use Teams - not a single company that we deal with uses it, it's all Zoom and Chime - but I do hear friends who have to use it complain about it all the time. (Zoom is better than it used to be, but for all that is holy please get rid of the floating menu when we're sharing screens)
