Any time I see an article quoting a Google executive about how "successfully" they’ve implemented AI, I roll my eyes.
People treat these quotes with the same weight they give to leaders at Anthropic or OpenAI, but it’s not the same thing.
Those companies are AI-first. For them, AI is the DNA. For Google, it’s a feature being bolted onto a massive, existing machine.
It’s easy to forget that Google is an enormous collective of different companies. Google was made by one of the sub companies.
Google is the same as every huge company out there forcing AI use down their teams' throats.
Here is the real problem:
When an Anthropic exec says their A internal implementation is working well, they’re talking about their reason for existing.
When a Google exec says it, they’re protecting a bottom line. If they don't say the implementation is "amazing," they hurt the stock price of a legacy giant.
