The AI is just signal to the market that they are AI first. Their AI on search is pure garbage. It's obviously a very super light weight model to be able to support the volume of daily searches. If they used their frontier to power search folks will not pay for their cloud offering.

You're right, but then, surely investors also use Google? They can see how garbage AI results are, right?

I have my assistant do any searches for me -- she's fast and excellent at finding solid information.

Investors themselves just aren't especially smart. They think the results are good because they sound confident.

It's not even that. Imagine you were an investor: you'd invest in stupid things knowing that "investors aren't really smart." Other savvy investors would understand you're investing in slop, too, and follow suit.

You have a system in which investors are usually smart, but betting on collective stupidity.

Same with, say, the Chinese real estate market, where they were building apartments that no one could live in. Everyone is intelligent enough to know they were useless buildings, but you can still make money speculating on the bubble.

its probably part of the reason that people still think the tech sucks.
